Like Israel, sometimes we can stay “long enough” at a certain place and then we need to move on. | |||
Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story actually true. When they told me about the Tooth Fairy, I could hardly wait to yank a tooth out of my mouth and put it under my pillow. Imagine the disappointment I felt when I discovered there was no such thing as a Tooth Fairy. If I would take the time to investigate, I probably would find a lot more things my parents told me that turned out not to be true. So, when it comes to my birth date, how can I really believe that that is my actual birth date? What, if I am not as old as my parents say I am? So, with all the information I have not found, how can I celebrate my birthday again? I think I should just put it aside as I did Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. I should put it in the same category, laugh it off and say, “Ha, ha, ha, none of this is true.” “What do you mean,” my wife queried, “you're not going to celebrate your birthday anymore?” I explained to her that I celebrated enough birthdays, birthday I'm not quite sure is my actual birthday, so I don't need to celebrate anymore. Enough is certainly enough. “What about my birthday?” I simply looked at her and said, “We sure will be celebrating your birthday at least once a year.” She smiled and I let it at that. Later that night I thought of some Scripture I had read in the morning. “The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount” (Deuteronomy 1:6). God was trying to get Israel to move on. Like Israel, sometimes we can stay “long enough” at a certain place and then we need to move on. Tweet
