So today I’m another year older. I’m not sure if I’m wiser or mature but it’s ok if I’m not. I’m choosing to be grateful for what God has given me although I don’t always feel like I am deserving. I’m thankful for my family in all the times we have celebrated. I hope for many more down the road. Let’s see what 55 has in store for me.
The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, or Theophany, is the feast day commemorating the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. Originally the baptism of Christ was celebrated on Epiphany, which commemorates the coming of the Magi, the baptism of Christ, and the wedding at Cana.
I was baptized when I was 11 and it’s something that has sustained me spiritually all the days after. It’s something that has formed me to be the person I am today. Granted, I am not a perfect follower of Jesus but I hope I do my best.
It’s hard to believe it’s the final Friday of 2023. Time is a weird thing you know. Let’s finish the week, month and year strong, or something like that. The new year is close at hand my good people. Have a great day everyone.
I made my last blood donation for 2023 in advance of the holidays. This time of year blood donors are needed to help keep a good inventory available for those in need and for emergencies. As a blood bank worker I’m always glad to help.
You even get a donor gift and snacks for donating. That’s a cool part of the experience.
My Friday morning breakfast at work. It is indeed time to make the donuts. Have a great Friday good people.
Monday is here and it’s the beginning of a new week. Make It the best it can be. Have a great day.
