"Jesus, today and everyday you are my hot fudge and carmel sundae with a cherry on top!"
I realize not everyone, or even anyone, will understand this so for anyone who would like to know, then here goes...
Sunday was the anniversery of my baptism. The day I died with Christ and rose again with him. Honestly, I remember this date so well because it is the day after valentines day. Now thats a way to celebrate love! Anyways, I have found the journey more signifcant but none the less I like to celebrate this day. It's like the collision of my birthday and Jesus' brithday occurs on this day. How can I not celebrate that? I mean thats the kind of party I want everyday. Ok so today I was with two of my most precious friends who also like celebrations and we decided ice cream after lunch was in order. Considering ice cream on a chilly day isn't exactly my norm, hence the struggle deciding between coffee and ice cream. In the end, I decided on a sundae solely based on the fact that I could get hot fudge. I know my thinking doesn't always make the most since, but it justified it for me and that was enough. As I was eating this delicious creation I thought to myself "what the heck does ice cream and celebrating my resurrection through Christ have to do with each other?" I kind of wondered if I was just using it as an excuse to get something yummy. And all it took was the cherry on top to remind me that God sending Jesus to die for us when we don't deserve it even for a second is so much better than ice cream but then that he wants us to have abundant life, well thats just the cherry on top! I am thankful that God wants more than enough for us. So go enjoy something beautifully sweet today and remember he enjoys it with you!
