I was the youngest of nine. She\u2019d told me she thought she was done having children when she got pregnant with me, and she\u2019d hoped for a boy. Sometimes I wondered if I\u2019d been a disappointment.<\/p>\n<p><em>Just keep cleaning<\/em>, I told myself. I was going through the drawers of Mom\u2019s nightstand when I found a white envelope with my name on it. I opened it. <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/inspiring-stories\/people-helping-people\/someone-cares-double-birthday\/\">A birthday card!<\/a> It was decorated with yellow tulips, my favorite flower. \u201cTo My Daughter on Her Birthday,\u201d it read. The hair on the back of my neck stood up.<\/p>\n<p>The printed message inside was simple. \u201cHave a wonderful day and a great year!\u201d And below it, in Mom\u2019s slanted cursive, the card was signed, \u201cLove you always, Mom.\u201d On my birthday, I\u2019d been given the exact message I needed to hear.<\/p>\n<h4>Kaylin Kaupish <em>Editor<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>I sat in my living room, scrolling on I my phone. My twenty-ninth birthday was in three days. I\u2019d wanted to mark the final birthday of my twenties with an unforgettable celebration. I\u2019d planned a party with all of my closest friends. My family was even <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/quotes-verses\/7-prayers-for-safe-travels\/\">going to travel<\/a> from Virginia to join the festivities. But then Covid-19 hit and we had to cancel.<\/p>\n<p>I would be spending my twenty-ninth birthday at home. Alone. I was trying to make the most of it. I was going to cook a nice dinner, watch my favorite movie\u2014<em>Ding!<\/em> A message notification popped up on my screen. It was my coworker, Megan. We used to sit next to each other in the office. I loved the days when she brought her five-year-old son, David, into work. I opened the message. \u201cI don\u2019t know why, but David asked me to send you this,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The words were accompanied by a video. I clicked on it. David was sitting on their couch. \u201cWhat did you want to tell Kaylin?\u201d Megan asked. David beamed. \u201cHappy birthday!\u201d he said. How in the world did he know?<\/p>\n<p>I texted Megan back immediately. She had no idea my birthday was in three days or how David could have guessed. I wasn\u2019t sure either, but now, thanks to his sweet and <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/inspiring-stories\/stories-of-faith-and-hope\/when-god-speaks-to-us-in-unexpected-ways\/\">unexpected message<\/a>, this birthday would be one I\u2019d never forget.<\/p>\n<h4>Roberta Messner from <em>Huntington, West Virginia<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>Standing outside the airport in Los Angeles, I waited for the driver who would transport me to a conference. I was feeling a bit down. My birthday had been a few days before, on September 24, and it had gone by without much celebration.<\/p>\n<p>My car pulled up to the curb. I settled into the backseat and introduced myself to Phil, the driver. We hit it off right away. \u201cSay!\u201d Phil said. \u201cHave you ever just \u2018lost\u2019 your birthday?\u201d He explained that his had recently passed without much notice.<\/p>\n<p>I asked him when his birthday was.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe twenty-fourth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWait, that\u2019s my birthday too!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Phil was over the moon. \u201cAll these years I\u2019ve had passengers with birthdays on September 23 or 25, but never have I driven someone with my birthday!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Right then, I remembered I had a gift card in my wallet. \u201cIf you have time, we can swing by Starbucks for a celebratory treat,\u201d I said. Phil was touched. I bought us coffees, and we sat down together and chatted away. When he dropped me off at the conference center, we exchanged numbers. Now we text each other every year on our shared birthday. God had given me the something small I\u2019d been yearning for\u2014plus a new friend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Glenna McKelvie from Montgomery, Texas I was at my mother\u2019s house, sorting I through her things.
