Blessings & Birfday Cake

"Mama, Mama...I wanna some birfday cake!"  

Out of nowhere, the toddler began to ask for "birfday cake" each and every day. We haven't celebrated such an occasion in a couple of months now, and his own special day doesn't land until the final day of each year.......so where was this odd request coming from?

Like many "2-year old-isms".....we may never know.  But what we DID decide, was this........

Why NOT have Birfday Cake?  Isn't it true we are born new each day?

His great love is new every morning.  Lord, how faithful you are!.....Lamentations 3:23

And isn't childlike faith EXACTLY what we are called to?

But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these..........Luke 18:16

When we awake each morning----
Acknowledge God the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit.......
Die to Our Self........
and Submit to His Will...........
........aren't we then NEW....New each Day?

Sounds to me like a Beautiful Reason to Celebrate with Birfday, oops.............BIRTHday Cake.
