Birthday Blessings
As I write this, I am counting down the hours until I begin another year of my life. Although I no longer relish the thought of getting older, I do enjoy birthdays as this always seems to be the time of year that God does special things to remind me that I am loved. I know God blesses me all year long but maybe I just notice it more this time of year.
It’s also a great time to reflect on the previous year and to remember everything He’s brought me through, the people He’s put in my life, and the way I have continued to grow in Him. This past year, there were times I especially felt His presence and times I felt lonely and discouraged. In the end, though, I found a strength I never knew I possessed and I want to hold on to that and take it into this coming year.
I’ve already had a great couple weeks leading up to my birthday. So many have wished me well, prayed for me, and I even got some flowers yesterday. Scripture says that every good and perfect gift comes from above and I receive it as such. He knows what blesses me and it seems like He delights in doing just those things. Yet He often uses people as His vessels. I don’t deserve His love and His goodness but I praise Him for it. I also look forward to continuing to walk through this next year with you. May you feel His blessings too because He loves you.
Aw..Happy Birthday, Sony! Hope it truly was a great one. May God richly bless you in the coming year!
Thank you, Janet. God did bless and is continuing to do so. He’s so faithful.
