 (John 15:15) "The story of Easter is the story of renewal within the individual." (Donald Curtis) As we enter into the spirit of Easter, we feel a triumphant spirit of new faith, new life. A sense of wonder is evident, and we become ever more aware of God's great love for His beloved creation. The Easter story tells us that no matter what our challenges may be, with the right attitude, we can go through them victorious in every way. No tomb can hold us back. There are songs of rejoicing in the air; the blooms of spring celebrate this happy day. Our hearts rejoice and leap with gladness! This is a new day! Our spirits are renewed, and we feel the quickening of new life within our minds, hearts, and bodies. Rejoice! Rejoice! With expectation and hope, we welcome Easter, the symbol of light, life, joy, love. Triumphant we soar into the newness of a now blessed life! |
