As children we dyed hard boiled
eggs, had fun hunting for them, and often hiding them again. Later we enjoyed deviled egg sandwiches, and
potato salad with lots of eggs inside.
Spring time, flowers and fun all are
in order this time of the year!
However the days prior to the
original Easter were NOT a fun day for Jesus.
Jesus was betrayed and rejected by
his friends, yet he uttered, “Father forgive them for they know not what they
do.” He suffered and died for you and for me.
On that Glad Easter Morning, He
arose from the dead and He lives for ever more.
Not only is he alive, but after 40
days he was escorted by Angels back to heaven leaving us with a promise that he
would return some day to receive us unto himself.
Jesus did not leave us comfortless. He sent His Holy Spirit to be our helper. When
we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we can know that He is IN us and will
be with us always!
He says, I will never leave you nor
forsake you.
So let this Easter be a Fun day! Let
it be a Joyous and Glorious Day!
Let it be a day of Hope!
It is Resurrection Sunday!!

Happy Easter Hazel, glad we can call each other sister.
Thank you for the reminder of suffering and resurrection, ascension and Pentecost. We have an indwelling Comforter today because of all that Jesus did. That is something to be glad about, even as we grieve the loss of our beloved friend.
Happy Easter! HE IS RISEN INDEED!!!
