Enjoy

Why is it that when we read Ecclesiastes where it says "enjoy the fruit of your labor" that we think that is somehow not spiritual? That's ridiculous. As a father I want my kids to enjoy every blessing they are given the privilege of receiving. It would be stupid if every time I gave my children a blessing that they looked over their shoulder at me to see if I thought they were "overcelebrating". That's what we do though. We think we're gonna get struck by lightning if we celebrate too much. Celebrating too much is not bragging. Bragging is something totally different. Bragging exposes something deep in the heart. Celebrating is the height of gratitude. Think about this...when I see my children celebrating what I give them...I have the same reaction every time...I WANT TO GIVE THEM MORE.

Celebrate. Enjoy.
