A while ago my bride and I visited Disney World, and the first sign that I saw before I ever entered the park was…

CELEBRATE TODAY!

Countless times that day, I was bombarded with layers of banners and signs. Pre-park, in the park, post-park, every where I turned there it was… Up in my face…

CELEBRATE TODAY!

Guess what I did? I celebrated that day. That constant reminder encouraged me to reset, reboot, and restart. While I was waiting in long lines… I celebrated! When I was hungry and paying for the worst overpriced lame cheeseburger… I celebrated! When I was nauseous and baking in the hot Florida sun… I celebrated! When I couldn’t get the that stupid puppet song, “its a small world after all”, out of my head…

I celebrated.

“Celebrate today” may be a brilliant strategy for Disney World, but that theme didn’t originate with Disney. Those are the words of Jesus. His words were… “Quit worrying about tomorrow, it wont help you at all! It will just drain you and rob you of today… besides God your Father has your back.”

CELEBRATE TODAY!

I don’t know about you but I can turn into the “Grumpy Dwarf” when left to myself, so I need to be bombarded with layers of banners and signs of the positive words of Jesus. Celebrate today. I need Gods Word and Spirit to remind me that life is a gift, life is short, and the enemy’s number one goal is to steal my joy. I need to be constantly reminded that I have a choice. It’s my call. Nobody can make me have a bad day. Its up to me how I choose to respond to challenging circumstances and difficult people.

I shared this thought with my team today, and started our meeting with a cheer. Yes, a cheer! Then I challenged my bride to a cheer off. Enjoy. Let me know who you think is better and let me encourage you to… CELEBRATE TODAY!
