Birthday?

Today is the day I was born.

Was it the day my life began? No.

My earthly life began the day I was conceived.

But my life with God began before then.

So how do we measure a life? I have lived thirty-onederful years outside my mother's womb. But I have been alive for 381 months, not 372. And I was known by God before then, which can't be numerated at all.

Therefore, every human life is really a precious mystery that begins and ends in the mystery of God, who is all in all. That's something worth celebrating.
