What Makes My Kids Cry Today

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights…”
—James 1:17

Today is about celebration — and sometimes that’s its own kind of worship.

In the middle of ordinary Saturdays, laundry piles, and reheated coffee, God still gives us reasons to rejoice. A birthday is more than just cake and chaos — it’s a marker of His faithfulness, another year of breath, growth, and grace.

Whether it’s your child’s special day or just a pause to enjoy someone you love, know this: celebration isn’t extra. It’s essential.

Jesus showed up at weddings. He turned water into wine. He sat at crowded tables and laughed with friends. Joy matters. Life is worth celebrating — not because it’s perfect, but because it’s a gift.

✨ Reflect:

• What can you thank God for in this season of life?
• How has He shown up in the past year?

🙏 Prayer:

God, thank You for today — for birthdays, for joy, for laughter, for another year of life. Help me celebrate well, and remember that every good and perfect gift comes from You. Let this day be light-filled, love-soaked, and grace-covered. Amen.
