After 25 Years And A Day...

I was truly overwhelmed by the happy celebrations and heartfelt greetings from my family and friends while I was pampered for the past few days but today, reality finally bites. After 25 years (and a  day), I was surprised to find out that I share the same birthday with this completely different woman.

I don't know why she keeps on turning down invites of her friends to have a shopping or coffee date because a pile of clothes is waiting to be ironed on a weekend.

I don't know why she won't mind spending hours in the kitchen, cooking for lunch or dinner even if it means not having enough time for that frustrating candy game.

I don't know why she sets her foot at work but always leaves her heart at home.

I don't know why she doesn't think too much about her professional career anymore and prioritizes her husband and their home over any profession because she believes that family stays forever and jobs don't.

And I don't know why, in spite of her imperfections and shortcomings, she still tries hard to be the best wife God has ever created for her husband and the  only dream she dreams is to become exactly what a wife should be. (Proverbs 31:10:31 -  An excellent wife who can find? She is far more than precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life....)

I hardly know this woman at this point. But so far, I'm loving her and I know there will be more wonderful things to come that will make me love her even more. And oh, I really don't mind sharing more birthdays with her. :)  

Thanks for visiting my site. I'd love to hear from you.
