Episode 48: Pocket Confetti

Have you seen that viral social media post with the eight-year-old in the car with Mom? 8YO: “Do you want me to throw the confetti in my pocket?” Mom: “No not in the car! – why do you have confetti in your pocket?” 8yo: “It’s my emergency confetti, I carry it everywhere in case there is good news.” It makes us warm but it also makes us pause. Most of us can relate to the mother who worries more about the mess of celebration than the good news being celebrated. Can't we? In worshipping God, we proclaim Philippians 4:8 which celebrates whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent, and praise worthy! We repeat Micah's words -- do justice, love mercy, walk humbly with God. But when actually doing so risks stepping out of our neatly ordered plans and risking the mess that may ensue if we live those things out with our neighbors, our enemies, our friends? "No, not in the car!" How do we let the confetti fly like a child without minding the mess?
