Today is 03/03/09 and I celebrated my birthday. My wife sent me this email which had the subject line – Interesting day.  Reading the contents, I came to learn of an interesting, humorous and unofficial holiday, known as the “Square Root day”, celebrated by Mathematicians *for the most part). Square Root day are celebrated on days when both the day of the month and the month are the square root of the last two digits of the year. For example, the last Square Root Day was March 3, 2009 (3/3/09), and the next Square Root Day will be April 4, 2016 (4/4/16). The final Square Root Day of the century will occur on September 9, 2081.  These days are unique and occur once (only once) in a century a.k.a 1/1/01, 2/2/04, 3/3/09, 4/4/16 … 9/9/81. This sure is an interesting day, and got me to ponder.

And as I thought about this more, it dawned on me that just as this day is unique, so is my birthday and for that matter, your birthday. Let me explain. We are all unique, one of a kind. Think about this, there is absolutely not a single person in the world (just like you), even if you have a twin or septuplet siblings. Each one of us is unique. The day we were born in this world was a special and interesting day, possibly for your family, but certainly in the Heavenly realms.

The Bible says in Psalm 139 that we were wrought (put together) by the hands of God. We are fearfully and wonderfully made. Each one of us. Even when we were unperfect, God made us (in his own image) and ordained our days recording them and placed us on earth for a short period of time, so that our lives will be reflection of the maker and others will see it and glorify the Father (God) in Heaven.

Point(s) to ponder:
1. Take time to celebrate your Birthday (with family and friends) because it is an interesting and unique day.
2. Thank God for making you unique, one of a kind. There is no one else like you.
3.  For those who feel there is no meaning to life, who think suicide is the way out, please know that we are all fashioned by the very hands of God, and so your life and mine is important to him and to others. Life life and enjoy it. 
4. For the abortionists, dont make the womb a tomb. You are messing with God’s handiwork and no amount of raionalization (zygote, lifeless embryo etc) will be condoned.

Psalm 139 : 13-16
13. For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
14. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 
15. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
