The reason I am writing is in honor and celebration of what I like to call "Me Day". This is my third annual celebration of "Me Day" which began on December 16, 2005. I have included a little blurb to describe the purpose of this day:
“Me Day” is not one of these selfish, individualistic, Americanized worship sessions of ME. Rather it is a day of humility that celebrates all the good that God has done in my life. Much like the Jewish festival of Purim, it celebrates God saving me out of the hands of my enemies and bringing me into His glory. It is a recognition that I was created by the Almighty and powerful God, who is the creator of the entire universe. It is a recognition that I am good because God is good and that God created me just the way that I am. No matter what anybody says, I am holy because God is holy, I am redeemed because God redeems, and I am good because God is good. This is not a celebration of my perfection, but a humble recognition that the one who saved me has promised to continue saving, healing, and redeeming me so that someday I may stand in His perfection and glory, unashamed.
I truly believe that every Christian should celebrate a day like this on whatever day (for whatever reason) is special to them. If we all did that, and let others join in the celebration, there would never be a day that we would not rejoice in what God has done, is doing, and will do in our lives.
