Ward's Sward... Where the Grass is Always Greener

• Aug. 5, 2006 - 8-0-5 Special

My dad has always called me his "8-0-5 Special". No, I don't resemble a train nor do I feel that I am anyone special, but the circumstances surrounding my birth are quite unusual. You see, I was born on the 8th month and 5th day at 8:05 in the morning and weighed 8 lbs. and 5 oz. And to top it off, my husband just happened to born at 8:05 also. J

Also, regarding birthdays, here is something that I found amusing. Two years ago, I was being a little silly and made up a song that went like this:

"Tomorrow is my birthday,

birthday, birthday.

Tomorrow is my birthday,

I'm going to be... OLDER!"

And, then, I pretended to cry, "Waaaaah!"

Our youngest son, who was 5 at the time, said, "Mom, you have to get older to get to Heaven!"

Guess that puts things in the proper perspective, huh? J

8-0-5 is really cool. My youngest son was born on 10-11-01. Someone pointed out to me that it's a numerical palindrome. I thought that's pretty cool, too :).

May the Lord richly bless you, guide you, and use you for His glory! I think you're special, too :)!

Happy Birthday! That's really amazing about the dates etc. I don't have anything marvellous like that except the days of the week my kids were born on - the first on a Monday, the second on a Tuesday and the third on a Wednesday. But that's not much to blog about.

Ok, your bday story is cool. Even neater about the hubby. But your son's post is the most precious. You need to write that one down! How long was it before you realized that you were born at the same time?

Connie, thank you so kindly for your words of inspiration. Last night I confided in the hubby my personal prayers and added that I am parying it now in accordance with God's will; whatever that might be. I really appreciate you taking time to read, think upon, and write concerning my thoughts. It means a lot to me!

HAPPY Belated Birthday!
