Hebrews 10.19-39-...and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds...
Exodus 11-12-This month shall be the beginning of months for you; it is to be the first month of the year to you.
Proverbs 4-The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; and with all your acquiring, get understanding.
Luke 11.37-52-...did not He who made the outside make the inside also?

This is Ashley my step grand-daughter. Her birthday is this month. Like the Israelites first month was the month they left Egypt. The month of the Passover. This is Ashley's first month. Her first month of life on this earth. But the most important month for Ashley is her first month of Life. The month of her baptism. Through baptism God stimulates us in love and shows us His good deed of salvation. In baptism we are called to be a Child of God. In baptism we begin a journey in God. In baptism we begin to acquire His Wisdom and understanding. In baptism we are given a wonderful free gift of Life. A Life where God will recreate us inside and out. Our first month of life. Both birthdays. In celebration of birth and the birth in new Life with God. Thanks be to God for Ashley a gift from God to me. Happy birthday to you!
