There are many people who want to help us celebrate the moment. They share our joy and they share our enthusiasm. Often people come from far and near to share in the celebration. Celebrations are scriptural!
When friends of his family hosted a wedding Jesus joined the celebration, indicating that helping others celebrate the moment was an act of friendship and fellowship sanctioned by God himself. Despite the fact that there are thousands of people who come to some celebrations there are certain people that each of us desires to see present to share that moment.
Those who know our story, who have seen us grow and mature, fall down and get back up, as well as grow stronger by the year are best able to appreciate and celebrate the moment. Those who know us well know from whence we have come. When we are on in the mountaintop only those who have seen us when we were in the valley can appreciate the full gravity of our accomplishment. It is good to have those in the balcony as witnesses who have seen us at our worse and now see us at our best. When Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Conner became the first woman to sit on the Supreme Court, the day she was sworn in was a great day. There were thousands of people in attendance. But Justice O’Conner scanned through the crowd to find the eyes of a mother and mouthed the words thank you. As far as she was concerned only one person could really help her celebrate that moment.
Believers who accomplish something today must remember that there are only a few people who can really help them celebrate the moment and it’s good to have them in the balcony.
