It is in how you look at it.
Our family has always enjoyed watching fireworks on the fourth of July. This year we got to all be together and enjoy them together for the first time in a few years.
At the particular one we attended several thousand people had gathered and spent the afternoon in various activities waiting for the big show after dark. One of the newest churches in this area, Discovery Church had seen the event from different eyes. They showed up in full force with hand wipes, other sanitary items and genuine acts of help that touched over 5,000 people in a single afternoon. An unexpected act of kindness in Jesus' name opened door after door for conversation and thoughtful reflection after the folks went home.
It was not what was up in the sky that was the real main event, it was what was happening down on the ground. Heart after heart was being invaded from heaven by the genuine love of Christ. Now that is a real freedom celebration!!
