HAPPY EASTER

Easter 2010. Another Easter. I am happy to see one more. I really hope to be around next year but then you never know. We are going to Billie's for Easter breakfast. Lots of little children and candy. A wild and crazy morning. The weather is suppose to go good, so here's hoping.

Easter was traditional at our house. We went to church, but we went to church three or more times a week holiday or not. We colored eggs. Mom always filled cups of water with food coloring and we dunked and decorated away. But the spiritual was the main focus. We knew what Easter meant from a very early age. The Resurrection, the cross, the heavy price paid. Then the fulfilment of the promise on the third day that Christ had arisen. I wonder today as so many children have their little baskets filled with candy and their crisp, bright new clothes have ever been told the story of Easter. The promise this holiday holds.

It matters not what church you go to. Or even if you go to church. If you have new clothes, or a sad old dress or shabby pants to wear. What matters is that you believe that Christ willingly gave his life that we might always have life. Even after this life as we know it is over.

We have a two bags full of twenty-five peeps. I will eat my meal with my family. I will love every minute of it.I'll even have a bite of candy or two. And that's okay. But be sure you and yours knows what this holiday is all about. Jesus, His price, his promise. I have picked a poem to run today. I hope you all have a great Easter and spend it with those you love. So till tomorrow. I'm outta here.


Easter Joy

Jesus came to earth,
To show us how to live,
How to put others first,
How to love and how to give.


Then He set about His work,
That God sent Him to do;
He took our punishment on Himself;
He made us clean and new.


He could have saved Himself,
Calling angels from above,
But He chose to pay our price for sin;
He paid it out of love.


Our Lord died on Good Friday,
But the cross did not destroy
His resurrection on Easter morn
That fills our hearts with joy.


Now we know our earthly death,
Like His, is just a rest.
We'll be forever with Him
In heaven, where life is best.


So we live our lives for Jesus,
Think of Him in all we do.
Thank you Savior; Thank you Lord.
Help us love like you!
