It was my birthday this past Friday. I didn't want or need much to make my day memorable. But I did expect a couple of things on my birthday. I expected my family and friends to wish me a happy birthday. Some did, some did not. I expected a party with cake and people singing Happy Birthday to me. That did not happen. I was busy all day, but I missed doing the simple things that would have made this day complete.
It doesn't take much to make me happy. but it does take something.
I am thinking that next year I will plan my own birthday. I will invite the guests. I will have a cake made. I will provide food to eat and all of the sweet tea that you can drink! I will do it at my house so that I can control what happens and not just be a spectator.
Next year I turn 70 on my birthday. This will be an important one to get right.
What is true of birthdays is true of church. I don't need a conference sermon every service. I do need apples of gold in settings of silver. I need meat, not cotton candy excitement fluff. It doesn't take much to minister to me, but it does take something.
