About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"AN ANNIVERSARY TO CELEBRATE" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
·
AN ANNIVERSARY TO CELEBRATE
FOR ME, TODAY IS A GREAT DAY FOR CELEBRATING. IT IS THE ANNIVERSARY OF WHEN I WAS BORN AGAIN IN 1953. A WHILE BACK, AS I WAS THINKING ABOUT ANNIVERSARIES, I HAD A DISTURBING REALIZATION. SINCE AN ANNIVERSARY IS "The annually recurring date of a past event, especially one of historical, national, or personal importance", I THOUGHT I WOULD TRY TO REMEMBER AS MANY OF MINE AS I COULD. MY BIRTHDAY WAS A GOOD STARTING PLACE, MY WEDDING DATES, I HAVE MORE THAN ONE, (I COULD ONLY REMEMBER TWO) AND WHEN MY PARENTS DIED. ALL THOSE WERE OF ''PERSONAL IMPORTANCE" TO ME, ALTHOUGH WE USUALLY DON'T CELEBRATE OUR PARENT'S DEATH, JUST REMEMBER THEM.
NOW FOR THE DISTURBING REALIZATION. ON WHAT DATE WAS I BORN AGAIN? I REMEMBERED THE YEAR, 1953, BUT HAD NO CLUE AS TO THE MONTH OR DAY. I COULD REMEMBER WHERE I WAS AND WHAT I FELT BUT NO DATE. THIS WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF MY LIFE AND I COULDN'T REMEMBER. NOW, IF I KNEW, WOULD I CELEBRATE IT? WE CELEBRATE OUR BIRTHDAYS AND WEDDINGS, WHY DON'T WE CELEBRATE THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF OUR LIVES?
THIS IS MY THOUGHT AND WHAT I DECIDED TO DO. I PICKED A PROXY DATE, WHICH IS TODAY, AND CALLED IT "THE DAY OF MY SALVATION". TODAY I AM GOING TO CELEBRATE IT BY SINGING PRAISES TO JESUS, THANKING HIM FOR ALL HE HAS DONE AND IS DOING FOR ME AND TELLING HIM HOW MUCH I LOVE HIM.
THIS IS JUST WHAT I AM GOING TO DO. DO YOU KNOW THE DATE YOU WERE BORN AGAIN? IF YOU DO, WHY NOT CELEBRATE IT AND IF YOU DON'T, WHY NOT PICK A DATE. WE TEND TO CELEBRATE EVERYTHING ELSE AND I HAVE DECIDED TO CELEBRATE THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF MY LIFE EVERY YEAR, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
I PRAY THAT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU HAVE A VERY BLESSED DAY. I KNOW I AM. IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN SPENDING A DAY IN FELLOWSHIP WITH JESUS. WE ALL SHOULD BE DOING THIS EVERY DAY.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
