THE HOPE OF SPRING
When the crocus pop their little heads out of the nearly frozen ground it is the first sign of Spring. What a thrill to see the world awakening and to have hope for sunnier skies and better days. How appropriate that is when we consider the real reason we celebrate Easter.
The savior of the world, even Jesus Christ, brings the ultimate hope for our lives and gives all of us "second chances." Because of Him we can forgive each other and try again, we can look forward to being re-united with our departed loved ones and we can feel the "peace" that only his love brings.
I am just a tiny speck in this vast universe and so are you, but somehow we matter enough that he sacrificed all for us. As I look forward this Spring I intend to be a little kinder, a little softer and to love my fellow man more fully.
HAPPY EASTER
