Times of celebration are very good. It’s wonderful to recognize those special reasons for gratitude and pleasure. All too often we allow the ever present pressures of life to dampen our spirit of celebration for all the good things that have happened, that are happening, and that will happen in the future. It’s such a good thing to determine to set aside the immediate pressures of life in order to celebrate those wonderful things that are also such an important part of today. We are truly grateful for our country that is still a “Land of the free and the brave.” We are so grateful for the freedom to make so many choices. We are so grateful for the brave sacrifices of many so that we might experience freedom. Some people seem to find difficulty finding anything to celebrate. These are the ones who need new glasses. When we begin to count our blessings our hearts will swell with gratitude and the desire to celebrate. Philippians 2:13 says, “For it is God who is at work to will and to work for His good pleasure”… So Celebrate, Friend!
