To elicit genuine celebration, obedience must work itself into the ordinary fabric of our daily lives.
God's normal means of bringing joy is by redeeming and sanctifying the ordinary junctures of human life. When the members of a family are filled with love and compassion and a spirit of service to one another, that family has reason to celebrate."
Richard Foster
Oh, do celebrate all these marvellous and messy moments called life. Be disciplined about celebrating the everyday. Obedience is not perfection. I've realised that I won't wake up one day perfect and therefore with permission to celebrate. No, I have good reason just now. Joy does a strengthening work.
"Our mouth was filled with laughter"
Psalm 126.2
