41
Today is my 41st birthday, and I think the biggest lesson I’ve learned this past pandemic year is to enjoy the gifts you have while you have them, because you never know when they’ll be taken away.
Say your worst fears of the future will be realized—what good is it to allow future pains to rob you of present joys?
“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” (Matthew 6:34.)
Each day may have trouble, but each day has plenty in which to delight, too.
So, here’s to delighting in each day that comes.
P.S. Folks at church surprised me with a cake tonight. 41 candles!
