Psalm 45:10-17
New International Version (NIV)
10 Listen, daughter, and pay careful attention:
Forget your people and your father’s house.
11 Let the king be enthralled by your beauty;
honor him, for he is your lord.
12 The city of Tyre will come with a gift,
people of wealth will seek your favor.
13 All glorious is the princess within her chamber;
her gown is interwoven with gold.
14 In embroidered garments she is led to the king;
her virgin companions follow her—
those brought to be with her.
15 Led in with joy and gladness,
they enter the palace of the king.
16 Your sons will take the place of your fathers;
you will make them princes throughout the land.
17 I will perpetuate your memory through all generations;
therefore the nations will praise you for ever and ever.

Here we have the continuation of the Psalm celebrating a royal marriage. Now, coming from one who has yet to pay a single iota of attention to the royal couple and baby in England, I'm not too interested in celebrity happenings.
But we are called to celebrate what is good in the world.
Here, the Psalmist is celebrating the royal wedding. And if that is something you believe is good in the world, celebrate it! If you're interested in the beauty of the natural world or the wonder of children, celebrate that! If you love building relationships with neighbors or practicing art so that you can share it, do that! Celebrate the world God has made and the life God has placed within you! Celebrate Life!
May you celebrate the gifts God has given you today
