What Do You Think About On Your Birthday?


What does a person think about on their birthday? Today I think about when I was very young, and how now I am coming almost full circle. What happened in between was a long unhappy experience of learning how false are the values of the world and how true are His interpersonal values.

I think about how, though not easy perhaps, it is okay for people to take off their mask. The real you and me is a beautiful creation, much better than the misrepresentation we often present to the world. There are no ugly persons, only hidden and distorted versions of the real created personality. Evil makes progress in our life only as long as we listen to it. Once we stop listening, the light floods us and the darkness must flee as it is impossible for the two to exist together.

I think about health, wonder why I am healthy, and also am grateful. I regret the times I hurt people and smile at the times I was a blessing. The illusions of the world no longer hold their allure as much, and what I want most now is to be all in personality that the Lord created me to be.

Family is everything. I mean birth, demographic, national, christian, and even so the world family. I don't want less, but actually more. However, what I want more of is to get rid of the barriers that separate people. A long ago song goes something like this, "... the luckiest people in the world are the people who need people." It has been hard for me to believe this over the years, but not so much now.

Thanks. It was a very nice birthday remembrance this year. I read recently that birthdays are important because that is the year date that a new soul, who was just recently with God, entered the world. When I look at children now, I think of that comment. Their souls were just recently in God's Presence. It is obvious how their innocence reflects that.

Actually Terrie, my birthday was on the 12th. Ha ha. I am just still celebrating it. Please be careful who you let comment on your birthday like that. These commentaries, including those who interpret dreams, have a prophetic value, I believe, that can influence the events of our life. I am glad you always had good birthdays though. I used to think I would dread being older, but actually I get more proud every year that is added on, and better adjusted to life. I am very happy to hear of your continuing blessing in Kentucky.
