Birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays are all annual celebrations that many people participate in because it is a fun way to remember the important people and events of our lives. When the Jews were saved from their enemies, they celebrated and established the annual celebration, Purim, that is still acknowledged by Jews today. What about when God does something for us? God has brought many of us through tough times—made ways when there seemed to be no way—and has blessed us all. Do we celebrate those things for a moment and then forget?
