Jesus was a Capricorn

Okay, so I'm going to be 40 something on Christmas Day. People have always asked me if it sucks having your birthday on Christmas. As a kid, it was kind of a bummer, because how do you have a birthday party on Christmas? I mean, how do you compete with sharing a birthday with the King of the world?

Now that I'm older, and married with children, my birthday is meaningless to me. I celebrate my kids' birthdays, their Christmases, their memories. These days, the only way I figure my age is by calculation.

Anyway, being my b-day is on Christmas, that makes me a Capricorn. I'm not a big fan of the "celestial stars", but from what I understand, Capricorns are earthy people. Creative, imaginative, dreamers, goal oriented, and just plain loving all around. That's me. (I like to think anyway). So it makes me think: Jesus (allegedly) was a Capricorn. I think He fits that criteria as well. By no means am I comparing myself to our Lord Jesus Christ...that's just sacriledge. But any guy who can change water into wine is way cool in my book.

The Lord loves, He lives, and abides in all of us. Our joy is because of Him. So the next time you feel overwhelmed, confused, and "what do I do now?"....just remember...Jesus was a Capricorn. He loves, He's goal oriented..and He has a plan for you. Enjoy your Christmas...celebrate His life, celebrate His birthday, because His plan, His goal, is your salvation, and He paid the ultimate price for that...so Happy Birthday to you too!

What an ultimate gift...from a Capricorn.
