I celebrated my 41st birthday yesterday and what a birthday it was. I spent the whole day at the church with my natural family and my church family. We had two wonderful services ,worshiping the Lord ,Feasting on his word and drinking from the fountain. That's real communion.
I reflected on my life and counted my blessings,the things he has given me to fulfill my life. I have two great parents who love me and always led a great example of a life in service to the kingdom. A wonderful spouse who loves and takes care of me and is truly a help meet. Three great kids who have never got into any trouble and are filled with Holy Ghost and are in the Lord's service.
A friend of mine who made about 10 times the money I was making at the time told me "Mike your the richest guy I know" . I was making about $25,000 a year and lived in a double wide mobile home with two wore out cars yet I was rich beyond measure. When it came to the natural we barely got by but I was and still am in abundance when it comes to priceless treasures. Jesus told us to lay up treasure in heaven where moth and dust do not corrupt.
Father, I thank you for a wonderful birthday it was wonderful. Your family sure does know how to celebrate. Oh it was a nice touch with the Cowboys win too. I didn't even ask for that but you knew.
