I gave my youngest brother a birthday greeting yesterday.
I remember the days when he came home to live with us. His older sister wanted to dress him in girl’s clothing – he was supposed to be a girl! As he grew, it became obvious that he had intellectual smarts. He competed on reach for the top and received various scholarships to university.
Then he somehow grew up, pastored a church, served as a missionary, completed a doctorate in Theology. This past year he performed our wedding ceremony!
My remembrances tend to still be back in the old days. But then I realize that he can get seniors discount at various restaurants. And he can pretend to be part of the freedom 55 generation.
And so, he responded that he is learning to live into his age. And now he is a day into that age!
A very happy birthday to my brother Murray!!
