Celebration
A life of “walking and leaping and praising God” (Acts 3:8).

God loves to celebrate and loves even more when we, as his people, join him in celebrating all the wonderful things he has done for us. Joy that is exhibited in celebration keeps everything else going, produces energy and makes us strong. This genuine and sustaining joy is achieved through obedience to God. Celebration manifests in endless ways: singing, dancing, laughing, as well as taking advantage of celebrating festivals, holidays, and the milestones of life.

Celebration comes when the common ventures of life are redeemed.
~ Richard J. Foster, Celebration of Discipline
