Through all the grieving, I have found the joy in celebrating! Seriously, I had this amazing picture this morning of the greatest birthday party EVER! Ginormous cake, loved ones laughing, and Jesus laughing right along with them all! HUGE smiles, people singing and dancing, taking turns with the Bridegroom! I can't wait to join that party!!
Last year we had a surprise birthday party for my mom's 60th. It was the first time we ever did that for her. She LOVED it, and her brothers told me she talked about her surprise party constantly. They also shared with me that growing up, my grandparents didn't have a lot of money, so they never celebrated birthdays. Makes sense now why she made my boys' birthdays so special! So last year, she basically had her first birthday ever, and now she's celebrating Jesus' birthday WITH JESUS HIMSELF!! And she thought the surprise party on earth was great... just wait until her birthday in March! Her earthly party cannot even compare...
Sure we celebrate here on earth, but can you imagine the party in heaven??!!?! Whoa! "Here Jesus, you take the first piece of cake, I'll take the next." Ha! I can't even wrap my mind around that!! Sharing cake with the King!! Mind blowing!
I seriously can't wait for that day.
But until then, help me Lord, to live each day as a party. Lots of laughter, lots of smiles, and lots of love towards others.
Oh.. And give my mom a hug. :) Tell her to save a dance (and piece of cake) for me...someday. :)
