What is a birthday?

th-18

a chance to go to a ballgame and see your name on the jumbotron.
a chance to celebrate being born. Being born is a big deal. It means you were thought up in the mind of God. You have a unique identity. You have gifts. You are written on the palm of God’s hand. You have a mansion in glory. The Son of God died for you. The angels rejoiced when you came into God’s kingdom. It means you have a personality and a soul. You count. You are loved. You will live forever as a display to God’s glory. Your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
a chance to find out how many friends you have online that you didn’t know about.
a chance to hear from friends you did.
as Robert reminded me, it’s a free trip around the sun.
a chance to find out who God has touched through you.
a chance to blow out candles (1 candle per decade, please).
a chance to get a free dessert.
a chance to do something for yourself guilt free.
a complimentary discount card from the hardware store.
a chance to go back to bed for 40 minutes which I am going to do right now.

If you care to send a gift, a donation to the Catch would be much appreciated.

Oh no, John has another birthday! How many is that now?
