I can't help but be irritated when people tell me that I shouldn't buy expensive things for other people for their birthday. I've been told that what I want to get Sean is more of a present someone should give at Christmas.
Well correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Christmas was about Jesus' Birth and Birthdays were where you celebrated the person. So in my mind, people should get nice gifts for their birthday each year when they get a day to be celebrated. Christmas is to celebrate what God has done for us by sending his son.
Sean is apparently not that big on birthdays.
I, however, AM.
I don't know where I get it from since no one else in my family shares the same ideas...but I like the idea that everyone gets one day out of the year to feel extra special. I think it's important to celebrate the miracle of you being you. There is no other you. God made you and planned on you being born on a very special day. So that every year when that day comes by, you can remember just how special you really are.
Sometimes I get really excited about having a family of my own one day... yes, I will be the mom that wakes her kid up for breakfast all excited and goes above and beyond to make sure they know they're special. A card just wont do. I will have fun birthday parties or we'll go on adventures as a family.
It breaks my heart when I learn about people being given just a card and then being left alone the rest of the day. They deserve so much more. They deserve to be shown just how special they really are.
So even though Sean's birthday lands on a Wednesday this year.... I'll just have to be a bit more creative in how I show him just how special he really is. And that includes working hard to get him the one thing he really wants.....
