Every Day is a "Birthday"

🎉🎁💞

I was planning on posting yesterday,  ON my birthday, but it was so full of blessings I ran out of time!

I got so many birthday wishes; friends, family, friends of friends and friends of my kids!  The blessing of a growing circle!

Other than that, was it different than any other day? 

A bit....I got some gifts....but honestly,  I felt like I had gotten gifts recently,  Family was here, but I have enjoyed family all around recently.  

It made me think...not because my birthday wasn't a special day (it WAS thank you ALL!!)...but that MOST of my days are filled with blessings and are special! The people around me make me feel special on a regular basis!.

And even if we are going through "stuff".  Some of it is how it is now, a new normal so to speak, some of it new challenges and hurdles to get over. 

But over all of it God’s plan is still in place, He still has work for me to do, He still loves me and there are blessings everywhere I look! 

📖 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, 

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are those who mourn,

for they will be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,

for they will inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,

for they will be filled.

Blessed are the merciful,

for they will be shown mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart,

for they will see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,

for they will be called children of God.

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,

for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 5:3-12

📖 “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
    whose confidence is in him. Jeremiah 17:7

The song that keeps going through my head...makes me smile every time! The video is fun but the words ring true!

To God I am special...every day! And that makes every day a special day just like a birthday!

🙏🏼My Great God, remind me that I'm so blessed, I've got this heartbeat in my chest, I am a child of God and no matter what is going on I AM BLESSED! Thank you for every moment, every blessing ♥️
