"For by me (wisdom from God) thy days shall be multiplied,
and the years of thy life shall be increased."
(Proverbs 9:11)

From one birthday to another
God will gladly give
To everyone who seeks Him
and tries each day to live
A little bit more closely
to God and to each other,
Seeing everyone who passes as
a neighbor, friend, or brother,
Not only joy and happiness
but the faith to meet each trial
Not with fear and trepidation
but with an inner smile...
For we know life's never measured
by how many years we live
But by the kindly things we do
and the happiness we give.
"God's Unfailing Birthday Promise"
Helen Steiner Rice
(1900-1981)
American inspirational writer
and Christian poetess
