Welcome to Celebrate!

We are thrilled that you found us! What a blessing to have blog buddies here in cyberspace. If you are an old friend from Celebrating Christmas, we are excited you'll be joining us here.

Like Celebrating Christmas, Celebrate! will focus on living life to the fullest in Christ. After all, Jesus Himself said, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." (John 10:10)

Abundant life... perissos (in Greek). You've gotta love the definition:


-exceeding some number or measure or rank or need

-over and above, more than is necessary, superadded

-exceeding abundantly, supremely

-something further, more, much more than all, more plainly

-superior, extraordinary, surpassing, uncommon pre-eminence, superiority, advantage, more eminent, more remarkable, more excellent


Jesus is the opposite ... EXTREME opposite... ABSOLUTE opposite... of what the world has to offer! The thief, and mind you thieves can take many forms -- worry, fear, doubt, anger, envy, etc., comes to steal to kill and to destroy. But Jesus ... He brings more life than you've ever dreamed!

So as we kick off this new little blog, we hope that you will find Jesus and the abundant life HE gives in the everydayness of life.

We will be posting once a week. Some weeks we may post a little more. We will look at holidays and holy-days throughout the year, focusing on keeping Christ the center of ... well ... LIFE! When the Christmas season rolls around this year, Celebrating Christmas plans to return to daily posts.

If you have ideas, please share! We would LOVE to hear from you. We have a team of writers to get things started. If you'd like to join the writing team or share photos, shoot us an email: CelebratingChristmas@gmail.com. We'll be in touch. Remember that we LOVE to hear comments from you. There's something supernatural in the way women who love Jesus encourage one another when they share.

We'll be posting on Wednesdays. Yes, we know today isn't Wednesday. But we promised you on Celebrating Christmas that we'd start sharing the year-round version of the blog on February 1st. And here we are! And here you are! And we are so happy to be sharing Jesus with you once again.

Check back on Wednesday for a sweet post from our friend Karen, as she challenges us to focus on God the Creator during this beautiful winter season.
