UnSelf-Interested.

Today was my managers birthday and i couldn't believe how she made the whole day about her. She kept talking about HER birthday, what presents SHE got, how everyone needed to stop and sing happy birthday to HER. It made me sick. I have started wondering the point of birthdays and holidays lately. I can see celebrating the birth of Christ but not with gifts and i can see celebrating His Rising from the dead, but not with easter baskets. And why do we celebrate our birthdays? So we were born on this day every year. Big deal. Congratulations i lived another year. I mean what is the point really. The only birthday i am excited about celebrating this year is the day i was saved. I will be 2 years old this year and i absolutely cannot wait to celebrate that this year. I am saddened by the thought that my managers life is still only about her. I am amazed that i have a higher purpose now. I no longer have to exist i can live life fully now. I have a reason for living. I have a purpose. I am no longer me centered, but HIM centered.
