Birthdays are celebrated by children with parties and cakes
and streamers and more! As children grow older the party becomes less
important, but gifts are usually given each year. As adults lots of folks quit partying for
their special day. Some people don’t
want to be reminded of their age or growing older. They’d just as soon forget. I am a birthday party lover! I say celebrate
every chance you get! Life is short and people do get old and heaven gets
closer and closer. Give gifts with
abandon. They don’t have to be big or expensive, but anything given by the
heart is a wonderful gift. Why do you
think I still have homemade cards packed away? One of my favorite gifts is a
sign that reads, “Life is a Gift – That’s why they call it The Present”. Today is my beloved’s birthday. For him I
just want to shower gifts, love and gratitude. What better time to say I love
you than on a milestone. Don’t let days
go by without celebrating something with someone you love. Time flies and life
is fleeting.
Oh beloved, it may not be your birthday but it is truly a
day to celebrate life, liberty and the pursuit of God. We live in a day and age
where we can still be free. That freedom
is being slowly sapped away, but for today we can applaud those we love, we can
give to our favorites and we can thank the One Who gave us life. The Lord loves you and He has a marvelous
plan for your life. It began with the gift of life itself. Each and every day
is His gift to you. The hard days will be replaced with good ones. The sad days
will be replaced with joyful ones. But something inside every day is worth
thanking Him for! Run to His Word this morning and read how He loves you and
celebrates your life! Trust Him for He is worthy of your Trust.
Psalm 135:3 Praise
the LORD, for the LORD is good; celebrate His lovely name with music.
Psalm 16:9 No wonder
my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety.
1 Timothy 6:17 Instruct those who are rich
in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the
uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to
enjoy.
James 1:17 Every good thing given and every
perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom
there is no variation or shifting shadow.
2 Corinthians 5:18 And all of this is a gift from God, who
brought us back to Himself through Christ…
