People have very different attitudes to birthdays. Some love them. Some dread them. Some are indifferent to them.
In a similar manner, people have very different attitudes to the birthday box at church, and this was very definitely demonstrated this last Sunday.
We had the reluctant birthday girl…
We had the shy birthday girl…
We had the defiant birthday girl…
… and we had the absolutely-eager-I’ve-been-waiting-for-this-moment-for-months birthday girl…
Whatever the attitude, we wish all of these a very happy birthday and pray God’s richest blessings for the coming year for each one of them.
