One of my best friends is Japanese and she lives in Tokyo. For my birthday she ordered a beautiful corsage (pictured). I sent her a thank you email, telling her how beautiful it was, and she answered,
"Good! I ordered "Make J like a princess," :) Love, Y
I spent the middle of the day (between jobs) in the stylist's chair (I'm blessed by Cheryl's Styles with a Smile). She shared that she loves to celebrate birthdays with cookies, flowers, or a phone call.
"Celebrating birthdays=celebrating life. And we need more of that."
I really enjoyed "the royal treatment." I wore the corsage to teach (and to the gas station)and my students were thoroughly amused ("Is it teacher appreciation day?")
I want to remember to always treat others as "the jewels in HIS crown." So often I find myself sliding back, judging others on their attitudes and actions.
The LORD their God will save them in that day, as the flock of His people, for they shall be like the jewels of a crown, lifted like a banner over His land’ (Zechariah 9:16)
