God Loves Birthday Cakes
This evening while driving home I saw an older Korean man briskly crossing the street. He was in dark clothes and had a lit cigarette in one hand and a birthday cake packed in a box in the other. I don’t know his story, but the sight of the cake in his hand made me smile. He was off to go celebrate someone’s life, and that is a beautiful thing.
In that moment I could feel God’s presence and love very strong around me. I knew that God was far more pleased. Someone made in His image was going to be blessed.
I don’t think I’ll ever look at birthday cakes the same again.
