Birthdays: Are they necessary?

In a matter of days, I'll be adding another year to my forties! How on earth can I be that age?
What happened? It's like I blinked and became 40.
In my mind I still feel like my 20's and 30's.

Over Christmas we spend a couple of days with my parents in Bloomfield and had a great time together as a family. I did a little something different and added a note of a special Christmas memory of my past to their presents. To my Dad, I shared how fun it was to get PJs on Christmas Eve and how warm they were reminded me of how warm and safe I always felt in my Daddy's arms. Funny thing was, My Dad didn't remember the PJs. I had to get out the photo album and show him pics of me and my sister in our new PJs. Those photos reminded me of years gone by and how many are gone by. Now that my sister is in Heaven, I think about her a lot at Christmas and how wonderful Heaven must be for her! She has a new body! There's no boundary of AGE there! No more birthdays....everyday is a day of celebration and it will go one for eternity! WOW...isn't that great to think on? I'm glad that we have a season to celebrate God sending His son to be with us! It's a demonstration of how much God wants us to be with Him....for eternity. If you are reading this...get things right with God and except His son, Jesus! Read John (in the Bible) and learn how! Wishing my best friend, Lisa a Happy Birthday on the 23rd!
