Another Birthday!

For me, another birthday has come and gone. Unlike many people, I really love my birthday. The primary reason is that I hear from so many thoughtful people who extend their birthday wishes to me. It’s great to find out how they are and what they are doing. Some kind and generous souls even present me with gifts; I must confess, I love those, too.

This year, the greatest gift was given by our good and generous God. He has given me the gift of time. The intriguing part, is that I don’t know if it will be one day or twenty years. Whatever it is, I hope I will use that time to be kinder and more thoughtful toward others. A birthday is a great time to take inventory; after doing this, it dawned on me how fortunate I am to have this gift of time. Thanks to dear family members and friends, it will be an enjoyable time for me.
