Each day has enough trouble of its own.” ~ Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭31‬-‭34‬.

Did you know that when you turn a new age, you are commemorating the number of years you have already lived, not the year you are about to begin? For example, if it is your 20th birthday, you technically have already lived 20 years on earth, and are about to begin your 21st year. Isn’t that such an interesting fact?
