Party People: Presence

Party planning: stressful nightmare or gratifying project?

 

For some of us, the fun is in the prep work - planning everything just so, imagining how it all will go, and providing the perfect environment for the people we love. For others, all the pressure and details become awful distractions, keeping us from truly enjoying the celebration.

 

What does any of this have to do with Jesus? No matter how you prepare, we’re all called to be fully present (alive, even!) to the party atmosphere, to the love that surrounds us, and to Jesus who is at the heart of every good party. Lean in, because this party is just getting warmed up!
