Sometimes you just have to jump right in with both hands! Life is meant to be enjoyed! No matter where you are, or what you are doing, you can find something positive if you just look hard enough! OK, you might say, what about the dentist or some other unpleasant experience? Well, perhaps even the worst of experiences can be thought of as positive if you consider that if everything was pleasing you wouldn't have any thing to gage your life by. In other words, you need the bad to appreciate the good! Jesus loved people and showed it. Look at this passage from the book of John for a moment and I think you will see what I mean.Joh 2:1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there.
Joh 2:2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
Joh 2:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith to him, They have no wine.
Joh 2:4 Jesus saith to her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? my hour is not yet come.
Joh 2:5 His mother saith to the servants, Whatever he saith to you, do it.
Joh 2:6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
Joh 2:7 Jesus saith to them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them to the brim.
Joh 2:8 And he saith to them, Draw out now, and bear to the governor of the feast. And they bore it.
Joh 2:9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was; (but the servants who drew the water knew) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
Joh 2:10 And saith to him, Every man at the beginning presenteth good wine; and when men have well drank, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
Joh 2:11 This beginning of miracles Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

Weddings can be fun! Face it, wine does loosen things up abit and in moderation is harmless. Jesus could have just made wine, but he made "good wine". Why? I like to think its because he WANTED THEM TO HAVE THE BEST! They were obviously having a good time at the feast, so why not even make it better. And oh, yes, throwing in a miracle couldn't hurt the situation, either. So the next time you want to have some fun, just do it, there is nothing wrong with saying, "Yum, Yum" once in awhile. Here's cake in your face!
