Excerpt from a colleague

A colleague sent a thank you e-mail after celebrating her birthday which contained a phrase that made me stop to ponder:

“A realization I had a few years ago, which still stays with me is that the birthday should be a day to celebrate God’s creation, that is, to celebrate the fact that we are created by Him. Since then, each birthday (with or without partying) is a reminder to cherish life as we are miraculously and wonderfully made in His image, with a purpose on earth.”

Happy birthday, sister.
