Most of us don’t plan a party everyday, but in reality, each day is a gift and party worthy! And today is the present, so why not celebrate! Hi, this is Dorette Schaal with your dailyeword. We have been talking about disciplines that help us grow in our faith and celebration is something we should include in our life. So celebrate today, you are alive and breathing, you have a future and a hope. Find something to celebrate today. Here is your dialyeword. Let’s make the most of every day and celebrate each day as a gift from God.
Mega moments happen to each of us. Some mega moment in my life are, the day I met my sweet husband, our wedding day, the day our first, second, third, and fourth daughters were born. The day we adopted our son. The day we pioneered the church we pastor. The day we celebrated, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and coming this May 27 years, ministering to people in the valley where we live. Those are some mega moments. It’s incredible that the tapestry of life gets more complex as we begin watching the ones we birthed and adore having their own mega moments. When daughters go to university and graduate! When they win a state championship in high jump. When they get to play in honor band. When they become a “title holder” and broaden their sphere of influence. How exciting to see our children’s mega moments begin.
What happens in between the mega moments are those quiet moments that make up daily life. Can we celebrate our son finishing a math assignment, or our daughters doing a good job on a pottery piece at school, or doing well on a speech? Can we celebrate the first robin in spring, the first jonquil, the first time you mow the grass in spring, the first batch of spinach or peas from the garden? In the big picture, those aren’t mega moments, but worthy of celebration, because we are alive, breathing, and experiencing even a quiet moment of life. Those moments hold for us a finite experience of breathing in the presence of God and thanking Him for what He has begun, what He is doing, and what He will accomplish in our lives. Let’s live a life of celebration. Deeply breathe in each moment of life. Don’t let life pass you buy doing things that don’t matter. Don’t waste your time on things that don’t matter in the long run. Fill your life in between the mega moments with precious quiet moments of celebration. It not only makes life a whole lot more fun, but keeps you in an attitude of gratitude and you get to celebrate the goodness of God daily!
