Today I had the great privilege of throwing a birthday party for my dear friend Euri. After cooking all afternoon I was excited when people started arriving, our "small gathering" turned into about 30 people filling Victor's house, but it was a great time of fellowship so we didn't mind. We had a big dinner and then celebrated Euri's birthday with cake, dominoes, and lots of laughter. Oh and by the way, Euri isn't kissing the cake, lol, he's just blowing out the candle!
It was a gorgeous day and an amazing night, one I will never forget. I heard this said on 7th Heaven one time and it kinda stuck with me... cheesey I know but I'll share it anyway
"What makes a birthday? A day where we celebrate a new life on a new day and on that day every year we celebrate with a person who has another chance to start fresh, to look forward to something new happening... when you think about it, Everyday is someone's birthday somewhere, so why not celebrate those new chances for a fresh start Everyday?"
This got me to thinking, and I think we should take the time to celebrate with friends and family whenever we can because its true... it's someone's birthday Somewhere, so why not join in and celebrate a new day and a fresh start? I'm glad for new days and fresh starts, the devil likes to get at us sometimes but its good to know that the Lord is watching over you and he blesses you with each new day, a new day not to duel on the things of yesterday but to make a fresh start for yourself.
I pray that you all had a chance to Rest and to Celebrate with your families Sunday... Even the Lord took a day to rest, so I think we all can use a day too!
God Bless each of You
