Birthday Pondering

I love birthdays mainly because it is a day when people celebrate you for something you had nothing to do with. I did not do any work 37 years ago. I did not choose the day. I did not choose the parents. I did not choose the doctor or hospital. Yet every year, because of something I had nothing to do with, I get presents and lots of attention. Its the best! I do not like the thought of how long I have been alive mainly because I do not like the thought of how long I have left to live. I do not know how long that may be, but I thank God for the days I have been given. I am the most blessed person with the grace of God because He has treated me way better than I ever deserved. I have an amazing wife. I have an amazing family. I work at an amazing church with an amazing group of people. My life is filled with the amazing grace of God and today I want to give Him thanks! Thank you God for the people you have gifted into my life. I am a blessed man.
