“The moment you hold in
your hand is yours to use either to embrace fully or to deny its complete
expression.” Julie Jordan Scott
After
church Easter Sunday, a friend told me goodbye by saying, “Have a happy new
life.” She was referring to the fresh start, rebirth or awakening which occurs
at Easter.
When dawn breaks on Easter
Sunday, everything is new… including you and me. Easter rekindles hope…
“it is a spring tonic, a heavenly B-12 shot, a divine anti-depressant.”
“Watch God chase away the darkness that has crept over our lives. No matter
where you have been or what you have felt, no matter how low or deep, no matter
how down or how far, no matter how or who you are…this day resets your clock.
Now you are on God’s time.”
Allow Him to help you
“Have a happy new life.” Make it so.
Excerpts from Rev. Bill McDonald of Crestwood Christian Church, Lexington,
Kentucky
* “There is a Higher World and this peaceable kingdom dwells within
you. Allow your heart to remind you what the mind so easily forgets: There is
a Peace. There is a Shelter. There is a timeless place in each of us that no
darkness can shatter or dispel. Make it your one intention to spend your time
there. Prefer its ever-present company to that of any promise of peace to come,
and watch how your life grows happy and whole in stillness beyond compare.”---
