Celebrations

Tonight I celebrated the Passover with some friends. It was an interesting thing. A couple of weeks ago we did something for Ash Wednesday. I really enjoy being around these various types of religious celebrations. For many of us, it is good to see the beliefs of others, and how they reflect God's nature.
In general, I wish that we could add more times of rememberance and celebration. I know that the Lord's Supper is supposed to be that, but we all know that we tend to neither celebrate or remember. It is another thing between us and Dixie Cafe. We really should add more time getting together and remembering our past.
Maybe we could make some new stuff up. What if congregations had a meal once a year where they remembered what God had done to bring them to where they were. Or maybe we should do something with our families. We could sit at Thanksgiving or some other meal and recount what God has done for us. What did he do so that our family knows God?
We need more times to remember God's faithfulness. Maybe our lack of understanding of God's presence in our life comes from not taking time to remember and think. We don't remember because we don't try. Let's not God for not seeing his presence when we aren't looking.
