Everyone loves a good fireworks display. That is how a very successful Italian festival came to a conclusion this weekend. The Connecticut Defenders promoted Friday nights at the Park with the team and a fireworks display. The fourth of July, Harbor Day and even a few local fairs made sure to note that fireworks were a part of the festivities. People who might otherwise skip the fair or the celebration always hustle down to find a spot to watch.
I don't know if it is the brilliant colors or the dazzling effects that brings about the ooohs and aaahs. It might be the big bang that explodes as the rockets launch their sparkling streamers. Maybe it is the music that often seems to tap into our emotions. Whatever it is that draws us in, it does it across generational, ethnic and racial barriers.
It made me think of the most basic appeal that Jesus has on us. In his life and actions Jesus has said "I love you." Those three little words cut across every line that separate people and they bring us together. In this cold and dark world, "I love you" dazzles us and causes us to oooh and aaah. The best part of Jesus' love is that it isn't only shared on special occasions and late at night. It can be shared and enjoyed all the time and everywhere.
