Like Israel, sometimes we can stay “long enough” at a certain place and then we need to move on.

actually true. When they told me about the Tooth Fairy, I could hardly 
wait to yank a tooth out of my mouth and put it under my pillow. 

Imagine the disappointment I felt when I discovered there was no such
thing as a Tooth Fairy. 

If I would take the time to investigate, I probably would find a lot
more things my parents told me that turned out not to be true. So, when 
it comes to my birth date, how can I really believe that that is my 
actual birth date? 

What, if I am not as old as my parents say I am? 

So, with all the information I have not found, how can I celebrate my
birthday again? I think I should just put it aside as I did Santa 
Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. I should put it in the 
same category, laugh it off and say, “Ha, ha, ha, none of this is 
true.” 

“What do you mean,” my wife queried, “you're not going to celebrate your
birthday anymore?” 

I explained to her that I celebrated enough birthdays, birthday I'm not
quite sure is my actual birthday, so I don't need to celebrate anymore. 
Enough is certainly enough. 

“What about my birthday?” 

I simply looked at her and said, “We sure will be celebrating your
birthday at least once a year.” She smiled and I let it at that. 

Later that night I thought of some Scripture I had read in the morning.
“The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long 
enough in this mount” (Deuteronomy 1:6). God was trying to get Israel 
to move on. 

Like Israel, sometimes we can stay “long enough” at a certain place and
then we need to move on.
