Oh to be,

A birthday bee,

To be busy, like a bee, that’s me!

But blessed also to pause and to just BE ME.

.

Another year is a blessing you see,

You understand too, I see.

Alive feeling SO grateful, feeling free,

To be us and me and to simply be.

.

Deborah is Hebrew for bee.

It’s biblical to be and busy bee.

See bee is “be” still with an extra “e”,

Bee still but still bee.

. 

Travel flower to flower and see,

See the sights, whee.

Meet the people, in glee.

And be home too, all comfy. 

.

The first praise for me,

For us, see, is to be God’s child, agree?

Especially He blesses us and me.

We have direction and purpose to be and bee.

.

Praise to know God’s Love deeply, 

Jesus came by sacrifice painfully,

To love and set us all free.

Salvation is a gift we shouldn’t take lightly. 

.

So now, how can we be?

To love and live in joy, GRATEFULLY. 

Give words to hope, prayerfully.

And live as saved, certainly. 

.

So that’s my birthday prayer to me,

Live life happily,

Step carefully, 

And know in the Lord, I’m free.

.

That’s my birthday wish, Lord, for You to touch hearts – and for all to give praise to Thee.

.

Amen

James 1:17-18 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

.

19-20 So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

21-24 Doers—Not Hearers Only
Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 

25  But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
