"Celebrate Good Times! Come On!"

Posted by on October 13, 2010

There’s a party goin’ on right here
A celebration to last throughout the years
So bring your good times, and your laughter too
We gonna celebrate your party with you

Come on now

Celebration
Let’s all celebrate and have a good time
Celebration
We gonna celebrate and have a good time

It’s time to come together
It’s up to you, what’s your pleasure

Everyone around the world
Come on!

Come on! Everybody sing.  You know the tune, you know you do.  Sing it. 

 

Christopher Columbus Day dinner, highlighting foods indigenous to the New World

We’ve been having a grand time celebratin’ a great many things, gifts from our heavenly Father.  I could have picked a good many photos for “celebration”,  some would have been understandable and some, only understandable to me and maybe those who really know me. 

 

 

A Happy Man. A happy set of bunnies = a happy bride = a happy man.

But I gotta say that Justin provided me with the quintessential celebratory face. 

 

And the bunnies, Jane and Mrs. Bennet (or is that Mrs. Bunnett), are safely home. Yeah!

It was made over the completion of his young bride’s bunny hutch, but really now, don’t you suppose, Dear Reader,  that he wears that face a lot lately?

 

A new favorite, Discus Bush Buttercup

Last week we talked about the harvest and of course that continues as does our present day earthly harvest of the abundant life Christ gives. 

 

Anna Coulter's Swedish Dinner rolls for our Leif Erickson Day celebration

The amazing bounty that we feast from daily, the bounty that fills our bellies,

 

One last look and sniff of the brugs before they go in the new Hippy HotHut to be trimmed and set in the revised dormant storage shed for the winter.

fills our eyes

 

I love little ol' men and grandsons.

and fills our heart and souls. 

The Coulter terriers and Anna & Justin.

God is good, so very very good, even in meager times, times of struggle, fighting back demons, barring from footholds and tearing down and minimizing the footholds already given to the enemy, He continues to lavish us with a life we don’t deserve, and I for one could never have dreamt up and given myself a life such as this no matter the magic wand.

Dear Reader, I hope that today you can see a reason for a celebration, and that you take time, find a friend to join you, and celebrate God’s goodness.

Thanks for stopping in to see my post for this week’s header challenge, Celebration.  Dave picked it and I for one am glad, I always like to celebrate, for there is much that I see to cheer over, to be thankful for, to give loud thanks for, to tell everyone about.  So, thanks Dave for an uplifting challenge.   Go see what the fellas (Dave, Fishing_GuyMac, and Gail’s Man.) have up for today’s Celebration!

    I love that song. Makes me want to dance. Of course, not right now since I just ate and am stuffed to the gills.

    You know how to get it on, no doubt Lanny. Great post.
    We have reason to celebrate here in Nebraska. Last Sunday after church my daughter rolled her big F250 several times. The pickup top was smashed down to the top of the seats and she was found walking around in the field by the road in a daze looking for her kids. One of which she had just delivered to a neighbors house and the other was with us. She must have been thrown from the vehicle and fortunately so. She would have been killed if she had been in the drivers seat. Slight concussion and a stiff neck was the extent of her injuries. God had something to do with this. I know that for a fact. I don’t believe in magic. I’ll one day post about this.
    Thanks for reminding me to clelebrate.

    The newlyweds look so happy!
