What a Way to Wish Happy Birthday!

Last week my twin & I had a birthday.  Let's just say we're now tipping towards 40!

When I woke up that morning I was alone in my room.  One of the very first thoughts I had was, "You're all alone on your birthday.  If your kids loved you, they'd be in here with you."  Thankfully I'm getting better at filtering my thoughts so I quickly identified who this thought was coming from and countered it with my own thought. "Oh what a way to wish me a Happy Birthday, Satan.  Nice lies!"  And I took it as an invitation to pray to my Heavenly Father and ask for His truths about me.  I quickly felt how much love my Heavenly Parents have for me and how much they'd want me to feel it, especially on the day celebrating my official beginning here on Earth.  How grateful I am for being able to recognize the lies and turn to the truth.

Today at church we were talking about the prophet Elijah and the Priests of Baal. I thought of this experience on my birthday. It may sound funny but perhaps in a way we worship with our thoughts. Which thoughts do we listen to and believe?
Are there lies that you've been listening to?  Next time one comes to your mind, take it as an invitation to turn to the Source of truth.

Speaking of my birthday, I just have to share this for a little comic relief.  You're welcome ;0)



Some of my healthcare providers have been wishing me a happy birthday---namely my eye doctor, GI specialist and pharmacist. I've been cracking up thinking about what the greetings COULD have said 😉:

Your vision may be deteriorating like you, but your future still looks bright 😎
Oh poop, you're pushing 40. Your next colonoscopy is on us! 💩
We guarantee a great year, just keep your Zoloft filled 😁
