We celebrated my son's birthday at our Home Fellowship (HF) today. Actually, his birthday was last week and it's the second time the birthday song was sang for him. (The family celebrated his birthday last week with waffles). I guess the simple celebration was not quite memorable for him for he requested that we celebrate it again at our HF. I could have said "no", but I felt that there was no reason to.
Birthdays to children are a big deal. It's one time of the year that they feel that they are important and they all love to be made a fuss of; of course the degree of that depends on the child's personality. I also wanted to create some memories for my children. I don't want them to look back on their childhood and feel that they weren't important to mommy and papa. Maybe this is the reason why so many children can't wait to grow up! After all, if being a child just means textbooks and exams, who can blame them?
And so, even though I was dead tired, and had tons to do, I made a batch of chocolate cupcakes, as requested, and decorated it with royal icing and colourful sugared stars. I chose 15 of the nicest ones and spelt out "Happy B'day Lucas".

The best part was, when our HF leader, Davie said a prayer of blessing for him, he prayed out everything that was in my heart. 
1 month from now, my son might not remember what I did for him, but maybe 20 years from now, he would.
