As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was reflecting on the word CELEBRATE. Even when, as a community, we are going through so much, disease, violence, riots, politics …things which wreak FEAR, I choose to think about the word CELEBRATE.
It’s important for us to CELEBRATE, first and foremost, our faith in CHRIST. HE is the light that will bring us through the darkness. We can celebrate this morning, a new day with all kinds of opportunities. We celebrate relationships; in gratitude, we thank God for the people in our lives. We celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, a new school year. Instead of looking for all the things we can complain about, we need to celebrate all the BLESSINGS we have.
Today, let’s celebrate the men and women who put their lives on the front lines, the police, sheriff, Highway Patrol, those in the armed services, those fighting fires, and those who teach our children, striving to learn new ways to reach them. When we CELEBRATE, we REMEMBER, and when we REMEMBER, we UNDERSTAND, and when we understand IN GRATITUDE, we CELEBRATE!
Have a blessed day, and remember, there is so much to CELEBRATE.
