Celebrate More Then A Wedding

I don’t know about all of you, but I love to celebrate things. In the last few weeks, we have had much to celebrate. First there was the wedding. I know, none of us were invited but we were up at 5:00 a.m. to watch the "telly" and see all that was going on. A once in a lifetime event. Well, that is what it’s supposed to be. It is a moment in time when one women and one man commit themselves before God and the world, their love and devotion to one another that if for a lifetime. The thing I noticed most was William’s hair. I think he is catching up to me.
Then there were two important yearly celebrations. Last Sunday we celebrated our Mothers. One day a year set aside to thank them for all they endured, having us and raising us. For some of us we really made them work. Not an easy task raising some of you. Of course there are others like me that we such angels, our moms must have thought they hit the lottery. Just kidding.
There was another yearly celebration two weeks ago. It was our Easter. Resurrection morning! It is the high point of the Christian calendar. Even more so then Christmas. It is one special day each year when more people attend church then any other day. A day recognized not just for the resurrection but for what Christ did on our behalf. And we get to thank Him in a special way every Easter. What a day of celebration.
But we have another celebration. Another day when we can get up in the morning, smile at the day and make our way to church. A weekly opportunity to worship. It is not once in a lifetime, or one day in a year, but each and every week. A time when we take a break from the world and place ourselves at Jesus feet. Where we turn our face to heaven and God hears from heaven. My bible reads in Psalm 100; “Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.” Come celebrate with the rest of us as we worship God who loves us and wants to have a visit each and every week.
Something to think about.
