It's not really the candles, the cake, or the presents, but the celebration of a gift given by God. The gift of life, unique personality, purpose, and potential for redemption and a part in His plan. It's why every day is a kind of a party when you are a mom! It's a perspective we can have not just as moms, but as any creature of God who chooses to embrace life through His Son, lived His way.
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the life and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days because He lives.
Because He lives I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future.
And life is worth the living just because He lives.
-Gloria and William Gaither
