What do Ninja Turtles and Giant Lobsters have in common? These two came together for a joyous birthday celebration of a lucky father/grandfather/and brother.
Such celebrations are very meaningful occasions. Besides the delicious and exotic food, it also brings family members together. For the young, birthdays are times associated with birthday presents and the inevitable birthday cake, the blowing out of candles and the cutting of the cake.
But for the adults, birthdays may mean more than that. Quoting from a Memory Lane birthday card.... "Everyday is a gift from God", we are also reminded that life is precious and as such we should live our lives in a meaningful way, always mindful of the roles we have to play as well as being contented with what God has bestowed on us. Instead of counting how old we are, we should count our blessings in the "box of chocolates ...to quote Forrest Gump...Life is like a box of chocolates...you do not know what you are going to get.....". Enjoy life!!!
