WHAT IS IN AN AGE?...ON MY BIRTHDAY

In life ,there is a common celebration everybody longs for.We call it birthday celebration.On such days one is showered with prayers,gifts and congratulatory messages.But what actually is worth celebrating on this day?

Is it the number of years?,Is it the eating and drinking?,Is it the number of wishes received? ,Is it about who takes you out ?,Is it your accomplishments?....These are all accident's in a life where substance is the most important .

Age is not about accident,it's  about the substance of your life...which entails how you have influenced people positively,how you have used your age to bring smiles ,happiness and joy to lots of people,Age is about the love you share and receive, it's about living for others..selfless service to others. Your age means nothing if you have only succeeded in using it to bring sorrows and difficulties to people around you.

There is a fountain of youth,it is your mind ,your talent and the  creativity you bring to your life and to the lives of the people around you love .When you learn to tap this source you will truly have aged....Sophia loren

Age is about learning and "anyone who stops learning is old,whether at twenty or eighty,anyone who keeps learning stays young .The greatest thing in life is to keep the mind young"....Hemp  Ford

So use your age wisely,Don't be a fool forever....It's not only a fool at forty, it can also so be a fool at twenty.Draw near to God,ask Him for the wisdom to age gracefully,Use your age to bring joy and smiles to faces,Live responsible.Never be far from your creator for the aged grow weary and the young gets tired but those who trust in the Lord shall renew their strenght (isaiah 40:31)....pay less attention to what men say in as much as your doing right,rather watch what they do.

Remember "age is like love,it cannot be hid"
