Celebrating Joshua's 5th birthday

I was wondering whether we should keep this celebration to a small affair, inviting only family members or whether we should organise a birthday party at the clubhouse inviting relatives and friends. Actually my main concern was really the budget for this celebration. Celebrating it on a bigger scale would mean more money to be spent and during this period, cashflow tends to be tighter because of all the insurance premiums we had to pay.

Anyway, I sought the Lord on this and His reply was that Joshua's 5th birthday is a significant milestone and hence we should celebrate it big time. Besides, most of my relatives had not been to our new home before so it could also be like a housewarming event. The Lord told me not to worry about the budget for He will provide for it.

And so we held this big birthday party last Saturday and Joshua had so much fun. He was blessed with many presents and ang pows (red packets) from loving relatives and friends. God is really so good. Indeed with the money from the ang pows, we were able to cover the cost of the buffet, the birthday cake and also the booking fee for the clubhouse. On top of that, Joshua still received many presents. God has provided exceedingly and abundantly! All praise to the Lord!
