Birthdays are for the celebration of life lived!
Our daughter lives life well and is blossoming. She is growing into a beautiful young lady. She gives and serves and tenderly walks through her day. And we celebrated her.
As I watched the candles burning, I thought of all of us living life as lights in this world. What would each of our lights look like?
And a prayer waltzed into my thoughts after we sang Happy Birthday, "Thank You, Jesus, for coming as the light in a world of darkness where You are not always understood. (John 1:4-5) Was I a light for You today, Father? And will I still be a light when the weight of life bends me low? My desire is to be anchored in the delicious sweetness of You like candles in a warm pie.
