Below are some ideas for practicing the spiritual discipline of celebration. ·      Keep a “celebration” journal for one month. Before going to bed, read Philippians 4:8 and write down three things that happened during the day which are a cause for celebration.·      Plan a Jubilee Dinner. Invite friends and family to gather together asking each one to be prepared to give a testimony of a way they have experienced God’s grace in their lives in the past year. Make it a party and ask everyone to bring their favorite party food. Buy some paper party hats and hang some streamers to make it extra festive.·      Plan a Matthew Meal (see Matthew 9:9-12) and invite people into your home that are very different from you, people you have never shared a meal with before, and just ask them to share their story. Close by celebrating each story and asking if anyone has something they would like you to pray for.·      Send an Un-Birthday card to someone you really care about. Celebrate who they are and what they mean to you
