In the beginning the elohim created skies and earth.
Welcome back. I love American holidays. With the exception of Easter, Passover, and Christmas all of our holidays are so special if for no other reason than there is nothing supernatural about them.
Below is a rundown of what we celebrate.
1. It's Dr. King's holiday. We celebrate justice and a powerful life that showed the world how to make it happen without bombs, guns and hate.
2. Valentine' s Day celebrates love.
3. Presidents' Day celebrates two great presidents and the rest.
4. April Fools Day celebrates comedy.
5. Easter celebrates freedom from slavery and death.
6. Memorial Day remembers our honored dead.
7. Mother 'a Day and Father's Day celebrates our mommies and daddies .
8. July 4 celebrates the birth of our nation.
9. Labor Day celebrates our workers and fair labor practices .
10. Halloween celebrates things that go bump in the mind.
11. Veterans Day celebrates the end of World War One and our living soldiers.
12. Thanksgiving celebrates blessings and being grateful for them.
12. Christmas celebrates our son of God who preached that God is love, peace, and justice.
13. New Year's Day celebrates moving beyond the old and being the new.
Well, two holidays are supernatural, but taken symbolically they are rich in meaning and as sublime as all the other holidays.
But this weekend is most special for it signifies that our nation can change when we are wrong. It, like Christmas and Easter, celebrates a life and death. May it ever be so.
Blessings.,.
