…IT’S MY DAY…
So
teach us to number our days, so that we may get a heart of wisdom, so the
psalmist wrote in the book of Psalm 90:12. It’s indeed my day. 5th of August is my day, my
cherished day. It is on this same day that I was given birth to some years
back. Just like yesterday, but years have passed.
Things
have happened and several are still happening till this present minute. I bless
God Almighty for this awesome moment, to witness another birthday hale and
healthy. Glory to God the creator, since I knew him, he has been a caring
father. To my lovely parents, I am grateful. To numerous men and women, known
and unknown, young and old, who have succeeded in impacting some virtues into
my life. Today, I am happy, I must confess, though I am not where I wanted to
be, but the truth is that I am not where I use to be. I thank God for where I
am and what I have allowed him to do through me, though I am just starting, yet
he wishes to bear me faster. Once again, a year has just been added to my years
on earth and it is a satisfying news that I am adding another year to my years,
but sadly and sincerely, a year has just been subtracted from the years he has
planned for me to use on this terrace.
I
have only one life to live, just one life and I have started it, I don’t known
the number of year left though I know the number of years I have lived. Oh! How
I wish, to have two thousand more years to live, but that is a nightmare, because
I don’t know the number of years left for me to live. But all I want to do is
that; I want to live my life as if I have a few numbers of days left; I want to
think and act fast on the issues of life like a student faced with many
questions to answer in a very limited time.
Friends,
a year has just been added to my life and it is an opportunity so rare because
many did not live up to my age, though I will surely account for the number of
the years I am opportune to live because to whom much is given, much is also
expected, though the treasures I have got may be mine, including the clothing,
assets and other costly things that I might have acquired, but I am very sure
that something is not mine, and that is the time, (my years on earth), I will
surely account for the seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks months and years that
I have spent on this terrace, because they are not mine. My prayer is that the Almighty
God will help me to live right, act right and beautify the world around me.
This
message is dedicated to everyone who shared the same birthday and month with
me, happy birthday to myself and several other August born. May the Lord help
us to live rightfully and impact the world around us. Once again, I wish myself
and several others happy Birthday, Long life in fulfillment and all round peace.
