Motivational Monday – A Praise Party

The complaint department is closed. Today, I’m having a party and you are invited. It’s a praise party. 

The requirements for this party are simple:

1.      No complaining about little things

2.      Give God the praise for all you have at this moment

3.      Dance and shout (optional)

The location of this party is your own home. The time of the party…when your feet hit the floor in the morning. Simply start by saying, “Thank you.”

We are already into the season of Lent. During this time some people give up something for 40 days, “mirroring the 40 days that Jesus was in the wilderness before beginning His ministry.” How about also adding something to your faith walk for forty days. However, the idea is that you will continue the process after 40 days.

Here’s my thought, maybe there are things you’ve said you wanted to begin doing more often. It could be reading your Bible more, starting a ministry, giving thanks more. Whatever your “thing” is, do something each day for the next 40 days to bring you closer to achieving it.

Plant your seeds now for something you want to see happen on a consistent base. Let’s get this party started. In the words of Gospel artist, Kirk Franklin, “Ain’t no party like a Holy Ghost party, ‘cause a Holy Ghost party don’t stop.”

Feel free to invite a friend to the party. Shut down the complaint department for a while. Go get your praise on.
