I wonder how they celebrate birthdays in heaven?  I bet it’s quite an event!  Julie turns 38 today, and I can’t help but wonder what she’s doing.  Does God lead everyone in a great big singing of “Happy Birthday”?  I wonder what that sounds like?  I bet it’s like hearing a child’s laughter, the ocean, crickets chirping, a cat purring, a drum line, a beating heart, a deep cleansing breath, wind rustling through the trees, Tesla’s “Love Song”(!) …and every other earthly majestic sound — all rolled into one.  I hope God presents Julie with a song that is better than any gift imaginable.  One that makes her feel significant, and as free as ever.  So much of life seems to involve some sort of advancement towards freedom.  I hope her birthday gift is one that fills her with unimaginable freedom.  And I hope God allows her to share it with you.

How do you think they celebrate birthdays in heaven?
