Birthday

Today I am celebrating my 62nd birthday! I have just finished my breakfast with boiled egg, pickled herrings, blackcurrant jam and Taj Mahal Tea! In front of me I had a beautiful red rose with a nice red heart tied on a silver string, with lovely words written on it from Solveig, my dear wife for nearly 40 years!

I have been given two books as present already! Ruth Kristin gave me a little book on being in love! It contains love poems and other meditations on loving another person.

Solveig gave med a big book! I even knew the author! It was written by Håvard Rem about Aril Edvardsen whom I worked with for 10 years. I have already been through all the pictures and found myself several times! What a birthday present!

I am looking forward reading this portrait of a great man of God!

    Congratulations for clocking 62 years on the face of the earth. I never knew your birthday is so close to the date we celebrate the birth of the greatest man that ever walked on the earth (Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour), so it is double celebration for you this season. I wish you a most pleasant and memorable birthday celebration. As your days, so shall your strength be-Amen. Have a Merry Christmas and happy new year.
