Celebrating Another Year of Life: Finding Joy in the Unexpected

Every year, I try to write a birthday post expressing my gratitude to my Heavenly Father for his faithfulness and blessings. Also, to express how grateful I am for each and every one of you that GOD has placed in my life. However, this year is a bit different, owing to unavoidable circumstances, I was not able to share this post on my birthday (3rd April). As the month draws to a close, I felt compelled to pause and give God thanks for a special milestone.

Life has a beautiful way of surprising us, doesn’t it? As I reflect on another year gone by, I can’t help but feel grateful for the journey and the lessons learned along the way. This year, circumstances prevented me from having the celebration I had envisioned for my special day. Yet, as I sit here, I realize that the true celebration lies in the moments we least expect.

Life is not always about grand parties or extravagant gifts. Sometimes, it’s about finding joy in the simple things, in the everyday moments that make life meaningful. It’s about the smiles shared, the laughter echoed, and the love felt deeply.

As I look back on the past year, I see a tapestry woven with threads of challenges and triumphs, of tears shed and smiles shared. Each experience has shaped me, molded me into the person I am today. I have grown, I have learned, and I have become stronger.

So, as I celebrate another year of life, I choose to focus on the blessings that surround me. I am grateful for the love of family and friends, for their unwavering support and encouragement. I am thankful for the gift of health, for the ability to wake up each day with renewed strength and purpose.

I may not have had the celebration I had envisioned, but I have something far more precious – the gift of life itself. And for that, I am truly grateful. Here’s to another year of laughter, love, and endless possibilities. Cheers to life and all the beautiful moments it brings!

As always, thank you for reading. I am truly grateful that you stopped by. Feel free to like, share, comment, or reblog. Until we meet again in this space…much love and blessings.🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍

I am Fay Ann, and it is pretty simple. I am a firm believer in God and a Christian blogger who loves writing. My mission is to encourage others to continue living for Christ and remain faithful, focus and fervent. I know God loves me and he also loves you because you are His child; and his nature is to love His children. I am here to declare God’s praises to those who don’t know him so they can find his marvellous light and leave their world of darkness. It is also my desire to become a channel of inspiration and hope to other people especially women who are struggling. I also have the passion to inspire young people to live their life with a purpose for the Lord. I have learned that what milk is to a baby’s body, the word of God is to the soul. It is the food that fuels healthy spiritual growth and just like your mother used to tell you, if you want to grow you need to eat. I feel strongly that these daily reminders of God’s word and presence in our lives is key to maintaining a Godly perspective as we begin each day; and pray that you will be inspired and blessed by the daily devotionals and are passing them along to family and friends. My favourite activities include reading, writing and spending time with great friends and family. I love to share the best thing in my life, the gospel. Let’s be stronger together. You can subscribe below to receive free grace-filled devotionals for your encouragement. God Bless you richly. Shalom.
