“So yesterday Erik and I took our son Anthony for his birthday celebration of turning 27..Amen..took him for a nice dinner and a movie..but his birthday isn’t until Friday the 5th but he’ll be working on Friday so we celebrated yesterday..it is always such a fun and exiting time for us as a family..because we get to catch up and have that table time as some like to call it..as we discuss and talk about everything that is happening in our lives..and it is the most enjoyable time that we give ourselves..and I couldn’t be more happier then that..Amen..but I was thinking this morning at how as we get older and life is moving faster for us..that somehow most they disregard their birthday’s..or they choose not to speak of their age..especially women somehow when asked how old they are they don’t wanna say..Amen..but it really isn’t about that..I am just speaking on the lines of being thankful for another year in your life..and I believe that we all should celebrate them birthday’s of ours when they come along our way..Amen!”

“Because most doesn’t get to live a long life..and most die young and very young at that..but if the good Lord has you here on this earth..then I think that you should be so grateful and so excited about it..that you should bake the cake..have the birthday party..enjoy the good food and drinks..and be merry..Ecclesiastes 8:15..that you should take it as Gods hands of grace extended out to you and your life..Amen..because life and milestones in all of our lives should be appreciated and celebrated..we should never take them for granted..not ever..Amen..but we should get stirred up and on fire for another year that’s been given..and set out to do a new thing..take an adventure..go for a long car ride…who knows stay overnight somewhere in that motel room..go a place that you’ve never been..let your eyes see the beauty of Gods country..Amen..but I do pray that we all celebrate our lives..and that we as I say are so thankful for another year given..another happy..joyful..properous year that has been given from our Father..Amen..for life is a gift and a daily one at that..so let us make sure that we open our gifts and open them daily for our Lord..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
