Some days are better than others.
Some days we run and run, looking at the clock anticipating the next thing on the list that needs to be accomplished. If we are lucky, we occasionally have a day where the clock is not an issue. That’s one thing I love about Sunday afternoons. Once church is over and we have eaten lunch, the afternoon is open…..for resting, relaxing and getting our minds ready for the upcoming week.
Yesterday was extra special because we celebrated Easter. The weather was perfect, church went beautifully, we had a surprise visit by some old friends but most importantly, we celebrated that Christ had risen.
When you really stop to think about what that means, it’s almost too much to comprehend. If you have ever watched “The Passion of the Christ,” I think you may have a pretty vivid visual of what Christ endured for each of us. It was beyond unbearable. That God would send his only Son to die for us, despite our messiness…despite our checkered pasts and despite the fact that we continue to mess up is just beyond comprehension.
The Lenten season is a journey. A journey to the Risen Christ.
I am loved.
Loved beyond words.
You are too.
