Celebrations are an important part of our lives. We celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and other important days. We throw parties, take pictures, give flowers and gifts; we eat special cake, and go to our favorite restaurants. These special times remind us of the past and bond us together for the future. We also celebrate holidays like Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. These celebrations are marked by time away from work, special events and activities, laughter and play. We picnic, parade, barbecue and shoot off fireworks. We spend time with family and friends. Such celebrations lift us from the routine of our lives. Every Sunday is a celebration. Worship is a celebration that celebrates what God has done, praises God for what God is doing now, and lifts up God for all that God will do. Worship is a celebration. Let's party!
