A Birthday 🎉
Elijah had a birthday and we always like to combine birthday celebrations with giving to others. Ellen White says that we should use these specials days to thank the Lord for the years that he has given us and one of the ways that we can do that is by giving back to others. For Elijah's birthday we gave him a envelope with each gift. Each envelope had a Bible verse on the outside about giving to others and on the inside was a card with a random act of kindness that he was supposed to do. Our favorite was the one that said make 13 cupcakes and share them with 13 people. What fun this was! He shared them with church members, friends, and even random strangers in our community. What a blessing it is to give! And the birthday memories stick around longer when we add fun endeavors that include serving others.
