My birthday thoughts and such
Today is my birthday. Because my birthday landed on a Sunday this year, we started the day as we do most Sundays, with church. Part of our message today was Ephesians 2:10.....For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. I love this verse of scripture. We are God's handiwork, his masterpiece, his work of art.....and we were created for something. I talk about this often, being created for a purpose.....for an assignment....for a plan. My goal for my children is always to help them find the purpose they were created for. I know mine. Do you? I believe the Lord delights in us when we seek Him and seek to know His purpose for our life. This life is not random. It is not haphazard. It is not just for this present day or moment.....it is unto something greater. Each life. Every life....is precious. Important. Relevant. Necessary. Intended. Valued. Purposeful. Wonderful. Worthy.
