Do we all like them? Are they a fuss for nothing?
Do
they create excitement or dread?
How did they begin in the first place? Do you limit your marked anniversaries?
Sometimes it seems like there is a special date for nearly
every day of the calendar year…but then again there probably is…and if you
include birthdays well then there definitely is J
Do we categorise and sub-categorise? Prioritise and deprioritise?
Of course we do, otherwise how else would we manage our what-can-be time poor
lives?
Personally I do like anniversaries and there are so many
good ones…
But what about the not-so-good ones?
The anniversaries that just invade your life and seem to
come from no-where?
I mean the anniversaries that you’d rather not think about. In fact, ones that you’d like to totally ignore,
and give no significance to…but there’s just no escaping them! Anniversaries that mark trauma and despair…the
ones that leave a mark and become a milestone in your life…wanted or not. The type of anniversary that makes you feel
at a loss, when you realise that someone you care about is having to honour one
such day. The type of anniversary that
you hope you never have to honour…
How do you react to such an anniversary as this?

I ask the Lord to give me a manifest encouragement on that same day, sort of making lemonades out of the lemons, and teach me what He'd have me learn redemptively in that place so I can put some modicum of JOY there. He's faithful to do it.
Love it...lemonade from lemons!
What a gem...
That's a keeper, I hope I won't forget :)
Thanks Sharon!
