“But the father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly, bring out a robe—the best one—and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.

I’ve always loved celebrating my birthday with family and friends. I look forward to it year after year. Age is just a number, for me it about being thankful for what I have been blessed with and I want to share my birthday with people who love me. When I was a kid my mom always made a big deal about birthday’s, mine and my brothers. I have pictures of a huge cake and all my cousins were there to celebrate! What beautiful memories. Celebrations, in my opinion should be often and shared. Celebrate life, celebrate friendship, celebrate whatever…most importantly always invite God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit along, we are nothing without them!
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” ~John 14:6
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.” ~2 Corinthians 13:13
