Exodus 23:20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

Happy Birthday to ME!
Today is my birthday
another year gone by,
a time of reflection
a time to cry.
A season of life
the reason to live
what makes a day
what makes you give.
I tend to mellow
as I get older
but life can be grim
a time to be colder.
There is a light
where no one sees;
a light to guide
set me on my knees
Praise and worship
if ever alone
I love my Lord
and all he has shone.
I show no shame
I spread the word
carried softly
like the morning bird.
I’m here to attest
that I live for Him.
without His love
my life would be dim.
Glory to Him
and sing his praise
I will yet see
more brighter days.
Happy birthday to me
as I enjoy the sun
always remember
to Him I’m #1!

Author’s comment: On this day, something glorious happened many moons ago, an angel was born. My friends call me “Angel” a lot, although I’ve never really felt angelic. My one friend said I couldn’t possibly be an angel because they are spiritual beings, not born, created. So on this day, I was created. I honor Him throughout my life. Since He honored me, it is the least I can do, right?
My sister always disliked the fact that I told everyone it was my birthday. I don’t say it to get cards or gifts, I say it because I want everyone to celebrate LIFE on this day. Spring is being ushered in and I am right on the cusp of its wings. How special is that?
Pretty special if I do say so myself. So special, I wrote myself a poem!
May you all have a blessed day and hold the sun in your heart. May the purity in your mind and body shine through brighter than the noonday sun!
Angel always...godspeed my friends...

Awww...thanks you guys er um, gals?
I've had such a wonderful day. This is my first birthday in Nebraska, and in Nebraska fashion, it was a special day. What can I say, I love this state.
And to top it off, it wasn't about gifts, it was about sentiments that my friends here and abroad shared with me. They celebrated my day with me and that, my friends is the most special gift anyone could ever receive.
Thank you!
Ana, thank you!
Ro, I'm glad your here too!*smile*
