“A forgotten milestone,” is the headline of a letter to the editor in our local newspaper. Reading that reminds me of the milestones in my life which are not forgotten. Two are outstanding and here they are.

THE FIRST MILESTONE

When I passed from darkness to light in my teens. I had a second birthday. I began a new life. I became a member of the family of God. I entered the door to salvation and into heaven.

THE SECOND MILESTONE

Eventually I managed to read the Bible from cover to cover. Many years ago I read the Bible twice in one year from cover to cover, from GENESIS to REVELATION. And when I say from cover to cover I mean every word!

In the letter to the editor the writer points out a celebration which is passing unnoticed. And now I am asking myself, “Is there a milestone, a significant event in my life, which is passing unnoticed, which is forgotten?” I hope not!
