The holiday season starting on Labor day proceeds to Halloween stops for turkey on Thanksgiving Day, gives presents on Christmas, celebrates the New Year on New Year's Eve then has Valentines Day to celebrate with those it loves. A long stretch of Holidays. A lot of good celebrating with those one knows and loves.
This is my favorite time of the year. It seems the Holidays just keep coming. One passes, and another is on the way. Remembering God among the other memories on the Holidays may be one of the best things you can do for yourself and those you love. We celebrate the Holidays, but we may not always remember we are celebrating because we are alive and healthy enough to spend time together with our loved ones. We celebrate because we still can find a reason for a celebration.
Think about it. We may be blessed just to make it through a year, a month, a day, an hour without tragedy striking or drama entering our lives. God being a creative artist one never knows when one may have to take suffering as something God allowed into your life as He did with Job.
There is no end in theater's use of drama and tragedy in the telling of an artist's stories. There's no end to the tears one may shed in one of Creation's life stories. Until the story is over tragedy may strike at any moment, drama may steal the stage for a scene and with God involved we may all be looking
forward to the happy ending.
With God all things are possible. Do not forget that when on one's knees in tears. God may yet wipe the tears away and say it's not so bad its only an illusion...
