Today is Annie’s 9th birthday.

Annie is the middle child and that in itself has taught me a few life lessons.

The biggest one is making the best of something.

I’ve always told her that she is the lucky one – she gets to be a little sister and a big sister. No one else in our family gets to play that role and that God has a special plan for her.

We don’t get to choose a lot of life that happens to and around us.

But we can choose our attitude.

My sincere hope is that Annie is able to keep that attitude about being the middle child for the rest of her life.

She’s done a great job so far.

Make it a great day.
