How often do you celebrate? Exuberantly celebrate? I don’t mean whopping, hollering, and jumping up and down. I mean an overwhelming sense of joy in someone or something? Celebration is a gift God gives us to acknowledge Him. Yesterday it rained 1½”. It hadn’t rained at Fair Haven for over a month. We were overwhelmed with joy for such a kind and abundant gift. My daughter and granddaughter saved a turtle yesterday who had wandered out on the road. Inchworms, DQ Blizzards, and the blue in the sky are all worthy of celebration when you think of the concepts of it all. Think of thinking up an inchworm, taste buds, grass, cows, milk, ice cream, making blue, and then coloring the sky with it every day. Our culture celebrates explaining everything away until everything is common except the perverse and now we have dulled ourselves into celebrating it. The next time you smell fried okra you should stop and think, who thought up my nose, okra, frying and tasting? And learn once again the primal joy of celebrating Someone who has given you a living life worth celebrating.
