We All Have One
Matthew 18:21 “21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,because he will save his people from their sins.” The birth of Christ is celebrated every year and likewise when our birthday comes up we take the time to celebrate. Since we all have one, and I’m not very good at this sometimes, I will say, today’s my birthday. So I wanted to make a small list of things I’m thankful of.
I am thankful for my home, having a warm place to lay my head, a nice place to work out of, and anyplace I can have Riley and Cooper. I’m thankful for being debt free, and I’m thankful for the people that have chosen to be in, and apart of my life. I am thankful for my mother who’s been helping me on my path to rebuild.
When we realize we are a year older we spend time looking back, and looking forward. Although the last year has been a challenging one we can always remember to look forward. A celebration to remind us we are still here. We grow in wisdom, in wonderful seasoning, and look forward to the year. It seems as if the last few years have gone by faster and faster. We questions our own mortality at times, and for me, I sit and I have Cooper in my lap, and a cold monster (energy drink) next to me, and my computer that I’ve written so many blog posts on. No matter what this year may bring, or what trials I may face, I know I’m here for a reason. As my birthday is nothing special I take this time and remain hopeful for a better year. I think we all have our purpose and any birthday is worth celebrating.
I look forward to the evening of unknown. I don’t have any plans, but a couple beers with the dogs and even though that’s a normal night, I think happiness is a relative state of being, and as far as getting older goes, I’m okay with it.
Happy Birthday to me, and I’d say 34 is looking good. I’ve noticed how many people have told me I don’t look like I’m in my 30’s, so at least I have that going for me.
