I was thinking about birthdays this week. I'm the type of person who doesn't think three different parties is extravagant.
Especially if you had a: 1. Family party 2. Friends party 3. BFF party
(all parties with different people)
Afterall, a birthday is a real reason to celebrate each year. Not everyone can party all the time, nor should they. I am of the opinion that everyone should celebrate their birthday each year. Here are some reasons why:
1. Getting older is a blessing from God. Our culture is so obsessed with staying young that sometimes people gripe and complain about another year being gone. Complaining about our age is like complaining that God made us and sustains us. Celebrating your birthday can help you delight in the present time and make you thankful.
2. Celebrating birthdays promotes community. One of the best reasons to get together is to celebrate your loved ones birthdays. We have so many people in our family, we almost celebrate a birthday every month now! It's great!
3. Celebrating a birthday isn't just about the birthday person. It is, however, a good opportunity to let your birthday friend know how much you love them. When it's my own birthday, I try to bless others through my parties. Dispite what some people say, having a birthday doesn't mean you get to do whatever the heck you want. It also doesn't give you permission to go out and get smashed. You also shouldn't expect presents. Afterall, you wouldn't be born if it wasn't for your parents. Maybe you should give them a present on your birthday. ;)
So go out there and party!!!!
