Last week a good friend had a birthday. She would tell you she didn’t want a gift. This week, brings a couple more birthdays. These friends would say the same thing. So, I’ve decided on a new birthday gift plan.
What do you get someone who would say they don’t want a thing? Perfect answer - a rosary!
I made the birthday girl the recepient of my daily rosary. I pray the mysteries with these intentions:
The first decade: In thanksgiving for the birthday person and the gifts that God gave them (that are a gift to me, too!)
The second decade: For their family
The third decade: For their health and well-being
The fourth decade: For their intentions and the people on their own prayer list
The fifth decade: For their upcoming year and that they will be blessed
If it sounds like it takes a long time - just try it! You don’t have it pray it all in one sitting, you can make it a part of your day all day long. A decade here and there and by day’s end, you have gifted your friend with a gift that keeps on giving!
I dare you to try it. You’d be amazed how much joy you will get with you give a rosary gift!!
