Indeed, we travel this life only once... and we can't go back to those times that we wish we could. Now, I've reach another milestone in my REAL life by reaching my SILVER ANNIVERSARY here on earth. Can I ask a FAVOR from YOU my FRIEND? Please tell me some of the things that I should be thanking GOD for letting me reach my 25th birthday as of today, NOVEMBER 22, though I have some things in my mind right now. I just feel like asking for your help in realizing HOW BLESSED I AM and HOW GREATEFUL I SHOULD BE towards the GOODNESS of GOD! I am looking forward for your responses and I will consider your answer as a gift that I will treasure on my special day! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! God bless you all

Wow. happy Birthday. I think be thankful fo whatever expereinces you've gained. And learn from it. Those expereicnes would make you strong when facing the race of life. Each experience should be considered a gift, you meet people, you interact with thme, you learn from them too.

Hello Jhordie, Happy Birthday! May all your wishes come true. Just like you, I am very much thankful to God for all the blessings he is continuously giving us. I can say that I have been very lucky because I have good family that support me. He gave me the best parents in the whole world. They were very supportive to me physically, mentally, emotionally and financially. I am also thankful that I am not one of those people who experience poverty and mishaps in life. That is why in return, if I can be of help to my fellowmen, I will do my best to help them in my little ways. I am also grateful to him for giving me a lot of chances whenever I go wrong in life. He doesn't stop forgiving and helping me during bad times. And lastly, for giving me a cute son a supportive boyfriend and a million of friends.

That i think you should thank gods are those bellow: you can live a happy life now; you can receive the education; you have many good friends who are always ready to help you and cherish you; you can offord you life by youself; you can walk while some others can't ; you can speak while others can't; you can see while others can't ; something like that. Things that you think you are better than others are what you should thank God.

Hi friend! So happy for you that you have reached your 25th year here on earth. I wish you a blessed birthday. Indeed you have to thank God because each year added to our life is a blessing from him. I am not so familiar with your personal life but the mere fact that I know you are studying and making quite good is enough for me to believe you are enjoying a good life. Remember money is not the measure of a good life. It is how you stand in the eyes of God. Jhordie dear, life in this world is fleeting! It is but so short! Sooner or later, you will find yourself no longer young! But the age does not matter. What matters most is what have you done in your life. And much more what have you done for Jesus! When it's your time to meet Him, do you think you are deserving of the following words..."Well done good and faithful servant...come now and enter my glory." I pray you will live your life each day as if it is your last. Make the most of it every single day. Life is like vapor. Make sure you are living your life here on earth as a preparation for the next life far and beyond which is the eternal one with Jesus our Lord! God Bless You!

that is a very excellent approach towards your 25th birthday, I think you have made the yourself the first birthday present. You have already given God thanks for allowing you to live for 25 years,now you must prove to him that you love him and you want God to continue be your keeper, provider,way-maker,healer just everything to you in this life you owe it it to God . So why not take a quiet time out to talk to God ask for first ask for forgiveness then pray to God with an open heart accepting God as lord and savior of your life. If you have problem praying , the lord as taught us how to pray...go to St. Matthew chapter 6 verses 5 to 16. I hope for you a blessed birthday and long life.
