One Sentence Summary: Celebration invites me to praise the Lord – hard- for all He has given to me.
What I believe this card means
The Three of Hearts is collective joy — love multiplied.
Celebration is sacred because it tells the world: we are alive together. That WE are ALL still here by the grace of the Lord.
This card reminds me that friendship is worship; one of the places we can practice and reflect God’s love, grace, and mercy. It reminds me that laughter is medicine.
In practical application, celebration asks me to be proud of myself and others without shame. It invites me to choose joy in spite of those around me who need to be unhappy or a victim to feel powerful. It’s the promise that giving praise to God is one step closer to being unpunishable.
It is also the satisfaction in work well done; if not that, then work completed. It’s a yell of delight; it’s dancing with all your might. A wholeness so complete side eye doesn’t even register, let alone disturb it.
