Easter week, it is
hard to take in and understand all that happens. What a wide range
of emotions... praise, celebration, fear, rejection, sorry, forgiveness.
Has much changed?
There are times i feel like i experience Easter week 52 times a year. I sing praises to God along with HIS radio. I celebrate His supper at church. I ignore the chance to love a lonely, hurt one. I speak harshly and out of turn to an innocent person. I am embarrassed by not standing strong in what i know to be right. And through it all, God forgives and loves me. My emotions and actions can be erratic, thankfully God's are stable and constant. Remember His love, and celebrate Easter!
have a praise-filled
Easter Weekend!
