Each and every year the people of Israel celebrate the Passover.  It was their touchstone moment in their relationship with God.  In a grand show of His love for them, God rescued Israel from bondage.  For them it was important to remember, to recall, and to give thanks.

We Christians also celebrate moments where God touched the lives of humanity.  Each and every year we remember the gift of Jesus’ birth and the great sacrifice Jesus made on the cross.  We back that up with celebrating the resurrection and all that brought to humankind.  Once we know the stories and their importance, we do not stop celebrating the events.  We celebrate Christmas and Easter each and every year – to reconnect, to remember, and to give thanks for our relationship with Him and to give thanks for all He does for us.

What personal faith moments do you celebrate?  Is it your baptism (or the date of it if you were an infant) or your confirmation?  Is it the day you entered into a personal relationship with Jesus?  Is it the day you were married…?  These events or moments are essential to remember, to recall, to reflect, and to celebrate.  So… what are your days?
