An Easter Thought


Hi everyone!

Today is usually when I post my “tip of the week”. Well, today my tip is to remember and embrace the amazing gift we have been given of renewal, rebirth and a second chance.

1 Peter 1:3 (King James Version)

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead

Romans 6:4 (King James Version)

Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life

Easter, a beautiful and wondrous day.  I hope each of you take time and reflect and give thanks for this gift. Enjoy the loves of your life and appreciate them.

And I hope for you to have fun and laughter with the people you love.

The Easter egg became a symbol of rebirth. The chick emerges from the shell. Many different cultures have decorated eggs to represent this new life. This has become a fun tradition.

Happy Easter!!

    I'm new here but already feel at home! The first picture you posted was the one my husband (pastor) selected to copy on the church bulletin cover this morning.

    I look forward to getting to "know" you better. (Susan is a mutual blogger friend. I saw the lovely gift you sent her when I dropped in on her a couple of minutes ago.)
