I took my walk early this morning. After the rain overnight, everything was iridescent green and dripping with raindrops and the new life of Spring! The birds were singing shrilly with excitement for the day.
I couldn't help but think that this is how it must have felt on the morning His followers realized with jubilation that Christ IS risen, just as He said! Everything must have seemed new and fresh and hopeful! The darkness of the last 72 hours faded in the brilliance of that moment of realization that His promises are TRUE ... they are everlasting!
We live because death could not hold Him; the grave could not keep Him!! He is as alive today as He was that Easter morning when His friends saw His nail pierced hands and feet and looked up into His eyes so full of kindness and love, mercy and forgiveness, triumph and gladness!! Hallelujah!! He IS Risen just as He said... Happy Easter from all of us ♡
