Celebrate your days

Our family will be celebrating a birthday this month.
It’s my birthday and I won’t tell you my age.
You wouldn’t believe me anyway.
When people ask and I tell them they are surprised.
They say they thought I was at least 10 years younger.
That’s what comes with marrying a Trophy Wife.
MacLeod’s much younger and she keeps me young.
One of my favorite curmudgeons, Tom Peters, says:
“This day belongs ... ultimately ... to you.”
Great observation, Tom. I would add to that:
“This life ... ultimately ... belongs to you.”
What you do with it in a free country is up to you.
Count your blessings. You have them in abundance.
You could have been born in the Third World.
Every morning I thank God for another great day.
I thank Him for the great purposes He has given me.
I hope you have found your great purpose in life.
All of us have at least one. Some have several.
We come into this life without an instruction manual.
God leaves it to us to figure out our great purpose.
If you are alert, God will give you lots of clues.
