I love celebrating birthdays. I don’t care who’s it is – it calls for celebration. Your birthday is the day that God chose to bring you into this world. He knew us before he laid the foundation of the universe. We are created in his image. We were chosen by him, created as his masterpiece, to do the good works he planned for us long ago … and I am struggling.
The person I want to celebrate with, the person I have celebrated with for 23 years doesn’t know it is my birthday. He doesn’t know Thanksgiving is next week. He doesn’t know we just had an election. He doesn’t even understand it is November.
But God knows. He is perfect. He has a plan. He loves me. I can choose to celebrate that. Thank you God for the reminder that it doesn’t have to look or be a certain way … I can celebrate with you! Thank you for another year of life – may I use it to glorify you!!!
