HOW IS GOD LOVING ME – AND WHERE IS GOD LEADING ME?
LINGERING IN CHRIST’S PERPETUITY
EASTER SUNDAY
April 20th
The past is the beginning of the beginning
and all that is and has been
is but the twilight of the dawn.
~ H. G. Wells
(Vocabulary.com defines the word perpetuity as “the property of lasting forever.” Today I share a post that was originally written for Easter Sunday, 2023. Happy Easter, dear reader friends!)
Drop at the foot of the cross…
every wound we have kept
every tear we have wept
every burden we have borne
every shackle we have worn.
Bury in the darkness of the tomb…
each grudge held so long
each doubt kept, though wrong
each resentment relished
each judgment embellished.
Wait in the silent stillness of night…
in watchful attention
in prayerful intention
in thoughtful exploration
in quiet expectation.
Rise in the dawn of a bright new day…
with bodies replenished to labor
with senses restored to savor
with minds renewed to ponder
with souls refreshed to wonder.
Emerge in the freedom of the rolled-away stone…
to walk in faith, not fear
to hold one another dear
to grow with open mind
to live a life that’s kind.
As Jesus has risen, so may our goodness, too. Easter blessings!

Hello friend. I hope you are doing well. I am behind in visiting my friends (here in the land of blog:) ) and I see that you have not posted for a bit. I hope you are just taking a breather…or perhaps your days are full of extra fun. But wanted to say hello and I hope you have a lovely Mother’s Day tomorrow. Blessings to you –

Thank you so much dear Jennifer! I wish you Happy Mother’s Day also. Yes, I have mostly been busy (and a bit uninspired). But I will return soon! Thank you for checking in.
