Why not celebrate Birthdays

Today at work was my coworker who does not celebrate birthdays day of birth. I am a little annoyed with a few people I work with because they tried pushing the celebrating birthdays with him. I am sorry to say this but this is America, we have a right to what religion we are, grant it I disagree with his beliefs but I am not going to force my way on him. I will share but forcing is another matter.

I have only found a couple of references in the Bible about celebrating Birthdays, none of them ended well. I don’t believe this is telling us we shouldn’t celebrate our Birthdays but maybe more of what we should not do on our birthdays. G-d gave us life and we do not have a right to take another person life, that is the lesson I learned form the stories I have read.

Sometime after Yeshua was born the Magi came baring him gifts. They traveled to where he was at, I am not sure this actually supports my beliefs that Celebrating Birthdays is okay.

I usually do not celebrate my birthdays and the last several have not been enjoyable to say the least. I normally do not tell many people when my birthday is, my husband, a few of my close friends and family knows when my birthday is. I believe my day of birth is special because that was the day when G-d creation me, came out into the world to met everyone. Why don’t I enjoy my birthdays, I bet you all are wondering. Easy. When I was 17 years old I walked in on my dad’s nurses sticking a tube down his throat so he could breath. We where told that day that my dad did not have very long. I try not to think about this around my birthday. I don’t enjoy it because every year I have made plans they get busted up because one of my close friends is ill. This year it was my husband being sick and not having enough money and me having a bad headache. Maybe I should have tried being thankful to G-d for another year that I got to live.

I enjoy celebrating other peoples birthdays, they are always fun. A person Birthday in my opinion is a special day for them, this is the day that G-d let the World met them. I was born early, and well there has been many things in my life where I should not still be here.
