I never really want to have a birthday on Good Friday again!
It seemed wrong to celebrate your birthday on the day when you remember the suffering of Christ...
So I didnt! In fact, instead I threw myself into all the local services that were going. I attended the Petts Wood Churches Together stations of the cross, our own Good Friday service, and then I held a Taize prayer around the cross in the evening! In a way, as someone said to me, after Taize, that I had a huge smile on my face - who needs to have a drink and a lot of food when that happens...true, but a gin would have been lovely!
But fear not, as my birthday was on a bank holiday, and on a day of fasting and abstinence - my birthday will be extended, and celebrations are planned for the next few weeks! woop woop!
Happy Easter people - may this be a blessed season for you all
