Introduction

Everyday we wake up and go out. It has become so normal to us that we don't see the miracle of life anymore. This miracle was brought to my remembrance once again. Life is precious and each day a show of God's mercy.

I honestly can't remember the last time I attended a birthday party not done in church,so when a friend of mine told me about and impromptly invited me to his mum's birthday party I had already said yes before I knew it.😂

After service, we went to pick the cake then bought some drinks at the marketsquare Orji What3word

By the time we got home some of the celebrant's relations were already there.

After a few pleasantries the birthday started proper with the celebrant arriving all smiles.

Birthday Party Proper.

My friend who happened to be the Mc ( master of ceremony) began with an opening prayer. We thanked God for the life of the celebrant.

Next thing on the list were some words by the family of the celebrant.
Each person who spoke had something in common and it was how the celebrant was a good woman. When it got to the celebrant's elder sisters turn to speak she burst into songs of gratitude and sang for a while,we all had no option but to join her. You could just see the love they had for each other.
Then it came time to cut the cake and I could almost swear that mummy was strongly fighting tears . Anyways we cut the cake and tosted to God's mercy.

Oh did I mention yesterday was mothering Sunday? So it was a double celebration. We thought it had ended at being double until the celebrant's husband declared that it was also March born's celebration.😂😂. 3 things in one.

Refreshment

The cake was cut and shared and I got a huge chunk 😁( I mean c'mon I was the official photographer of the day). As we wolved our cakes down food started rolling in. I immediately removed myself from the parlour and went to eat in my friend's room giving the relatives space 😉.

By the time I finished eating I couldn't stand so I quietly sat until I was brought into a conversation. The weight of food in my stomach had greatly reduced by the time that conversation ended. It was time to go home. I said my thanks and good-byes.

It was fun being there though it wasn't a large party crowd it was filled with love and family. If you ask me,that's the most important thing on Earth outside God.

Cheers to a new week.
