I guess I never have thought of myself as a “party girl” because it has a negative connotation in a worldly sense. But in the Christian sense, I guess I really am a party girl. I love to party. I love to celebrate, and I love lots of people around celebrating with me! When is that last time you had a celebration? Last month, last year? Has it been too long? A party doesn’t have to be focused around the “mega moments” of life, you can have a party for any reason! I want to encourage you to be the first to find a way to party. The Bible says that it is the joy of the Lord that gives us strength. Let’s find joy and share it. It not only strengthens us, but it will strengthen others around us. When you make a choice to be happy and spread the joy, you get a blessing in return. Just like a smile producing more smiles, we should be planting seeds of joy all the time. We should be the happiest, most joy filled people on the planet. C.S. Lewis once said, that joy is the serious business of heaven. Let’s get a little bit of that business of heaven going on here on earth. Come on, let’s party! Let’s celebrate this wonderful life God has given us, with the joy of the Lord.
