Blessings of Life

Well this past Tuesday I turned 31 years old. I remember when I was a teenager and I thought 31 was very old and I would never be that old. However the day has come and gone and I have now entered my 32nd year of life. Some people would grumble about turning a year older but I want to thank the Lord for yet another year of life. There are so many people that never see their 31st year of life. Life is a true blessing and is from the Lord. The Lord gives us life so we should be thankful for that and serve him every day with joy!

A lot of people ask what is the pupose of life? It seems like a deep question and many do not have an answer to give. The purpose of life is to glorify God. We are called to love and serve the Lord with all of our being. This is not an option for us who have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
If you do not know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour and you do not have a personal relationship with Jesus......I ask you what IS YOUR purpose in life?

31 years of life is the BEST! The Lord has been so good to me through all these years.

Here is a list of blessings in my life:
