Regard Age as A Gift
January 13, 2007
Last night my Mum said to me that there is a lot more to growing older than just adding wrinkles, submitting to aches and pains and watching children leave home.
Age is a record of your days. And it bears gifts – namely wisdom and confidence.
So continue to celebrate those birthdays. Think back over the challenges you have conquered in the past year. Remember the victories, and cherish new accomplishments. Catalogue the insights you’ve recently acquired, thank God for every day He has given you, and build your hope for many more.
Today is my birthday. Let it be said that I aged to perfection. 😀
Personal Note: My mum is a very wise and beautiful woman. There is nothing more beautiful than her words and the cheerfulness in her face and the love from her heart.
“I love you, Mum.”

Hi Jemima, Many happy returns of the day with many, many more to come. Noted your birthdate, you should wear a Sapphire pendant or ring to ensure happiness always. “Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, But beautiful old people are works of art”.
My very best wishes to you, Jemima, UL.
Thank you for your advice & birthday wishes, Uncle Lee. 🙂
I love the quote. HUGS!

Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once! Jemima, your mum is so right. Age is only a 2-digit thing. My birthday gift to you is for you to have a great day and may you be showered with blessings of good health, happiness and wealth.
Thank you very much for your words of wisdom, gift & blessings, Ilene. 🙂
