Today was a day of celebrations. We held our annual "N.F.L." Sunday, and we had Ellie Zellers of "We Are Marshall" with us. We showed the "final drive" scene from the film, with the end zone celebration. I love that whole scene. And when the morning was over, it was one of the best RockiTown worship mornings we've ever had. Kids & parents lingered, our worship staff wanted to stay longer, even the Zellers family didn't want to leave right away. We all savored the great spirit of the morning. Our kid's worship hours are always exciting, but today was extra special.
To top it all off, the NY Giants pulled off a miracle win in the closing 40+ seconds of the Super Bowl, against the previously undefeated NE Patriots. We enjoyed watching the tears & joy of the Giants' players at game's end.
As I told the kids this morning, moments like these hint at the greater celebration we'll experience in Heaven when we arrive. We should live our lives for the applause of Heaven, the joy of our Father & Coach. Then, when we arrive, we'll savor the celebration, not for a moment, but for all eternity. We'll know the embrace of our Savior, and we'll hear the words, "Well done...Welcome home."
