OVERVIEW
Sometimes celebration comes naturally for us. But at other times celebration requires attention and effort: when we are disheartened or hurting or tired, we can still choose to take notice and give thanks to God for his blessings. In this sense, celebration is the undercurrent of abundant joy that flows through a believer’s life, even during terribly dark times. “Celebration,” sums up Richard Foster, “is at the heart of the way of Christ.”
This resource will help you explore the spiritual discipline of celebration from various angles as you examine the
importance of living with joy and gratitude.
