I groaned a little when I saw the prompt was "celebrate" as it wasn't how I was feeling at all, but it's true, there is always a reason to celebrate. I loved this line- "when we choose to celebrate even before the end... that is when faith arises and light shines bright and darkness has to flee!" The song is great too- it's not one I'd heard before.Carlyhttps://lifeinthespaciousplace.wordpress.com/2015/09/18/always-a-reason-to-celebrate/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-80014646392681078612015-09-19T19:16:33.011-07:002015-09-19T19:16:33.011-07:00I like that you bring up singing.

I haven't been plugged into much uplifting music lately (just not listening to music in general), and now I want to pull up my "Joy" playlist and groove!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280944336944538944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-296111574665807092015-09-18T19:49:12.403-07:002015-09-18T19:49:12.403-07:00Oh my friend, I love your words reminding us that ...Oh my friend, I love your words reminding us that He is our hope and joy.

I totally agree that we can and should celebrate (praise Him) in all things. It's not always easy, we may not always feel like it.... but it's so worth it.
