Easter

The sun is shining. The flowers are blooming. People are mowing their lawns again. Spring rises up out of the dismal, rainy, cold winter.

I've heard the Easter story since as long as I can remember. I've always known that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and then rose again on the third day. I have always believed it happened, never doubted it...but in the past few years it has become so much more personal. He didn't just die for "mankind". He died for ME. It's personal. He loves ME that much.

How appropriate that we celebrate Easter during the Spring. Jesus gave hope to a bleak, dismal, cold world. He brought hope and salvation to ME.

I hope that you allow Jesus to bring sunshine and flowers into your life today.
