I LOVE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS BUT…

Dearest friends, it is obvious that nowadays, a lot of persons are becoming more conscious of their BIRTHDAYย and the need to celebrate it. It is really wonderful and worth celebrating.

However, we should always be mindful of what we do and what we allow others do during our birthday celebrations. People have fallen into grave SINS and heinous CRIMES during birthday celebrations.

Again, do not be quick to forget that it was at a birthday celebration that the HEAD of JOHN the BAPTIST was cut off upon a demand made by a girl who danced seductively and was erroneously guided by her adulterous mother to demand the head of John the Baptist (Cf. Mark 6:14-29).

Therefore, dearest friends, when you celebrate your BIRTHDAY, do not celebrate to OFFEND God but celebrate to attract God’s BLESSINGS๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

St. John the Baptist, pray for us๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

Remain blessed๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
