Happy Birthday to Me.

 For you created my inmost being; 
you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 

 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 

  My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 

  your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

-Psalm 139:13-16

I’m praising God today for the gift of life He has given me.

He loves each one of us the exact same and took the same care and detail to make us each different yet still His. He gave us each our own unique set of looks, personalities, and talents. 

Today I’m going to accept them all as His birthday gift to me.

And I think His gift will probably top them all !!!

Other than your life – What’s the best gift you’ve ever been given?

    Happy Birthday! Hope it’s a wonderful day for you! The best gift I ever received was an XBox 360….Actually, it was a gift Jim and I gave each other, but still, I use that thing every day (and not just for video games, it plays our DVD’s too)!

    Ok… So this is a toss up. Justin asked me to marry him on my 20th bday so that is a given. I love that man :-) but then my dearest friend Holly had her first baby on my bday a few weeks back. That was an awesome present (and that pep talk I had with him really worked). He put holly through 2 days of labor for me. I think that might take the cake :-)

    Happy Birthday! One of the greatest gifts I have ever been given is God’s gift of hope.

    Romans 5:3-5 (New International Version)
    3Not only so, but we[a] also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

  6. Happy belated birthday! I hope you had a great day. The greatest gift…definitely Jesus. After that I would say, my husband and girls!
