Life is a Special Occasion.—Hallmark
Several weeks ago, I entered a Hallmark Store to find a card to give to Monica, simply to express my love to her. When I walked in, I browsed the many cards to find the right one. While browsing, I bought several other things that I needed—an address book and a nice book about writing notes.
Because of the larger than normal purchase, the store gave me a bigger bag. When I put it on the seat next to me the latest slogan for Hallmark stared me in the face:
“ Life is a Special Occasion.”
It can sound trite, if you leave the statement as a slogan…but what if it were more?
Life is a special occasion.
Absolutely! The Bible says that “I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” (Psalm 139:14, ESV) Life is special—even mine…even yours!
What are you going to do with it?
Are you going to celebrate it?
The Bible also says;
“What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.” (James 4:14 ESV)
It is not to be wasted!
Our lives are special! Precious before God!
Take this day and celebrate what God has done for you!
Take this moment and reflect on how precious your life is.
Take this second to recommit to celebrate your life and to live your life with all of the excitement and pleasure that a special occasion brings!
