BLESSED EASTER

• What a Blessed Easter Sunday to not only hear the foundation of our faith that God has raised Jesus from the dead in acceptance of His Son's perfect life and all-sufficient sacrifice in our place,
• but also to receive His Holy Supper for the forgiveness of our sins and the strengthening of our faith and the joyous assurance that "because He lives, we will live also!"
• Wonderful music, wonderful hymns, wonderful breakfast, lots of guests at our services!
• And then just a little nap with a cozy little fleece blanket made for me by two of our children in the congregation, Jefferson & Serena, before heading to the family dinner.
• Blessings to you all! And Hallelujah! He is King of kings and Lord of lords and He shall reign forever and ever!

STOP & LOOK AROUND YOU!

• Leo Tolstoy, the Russian author (of War & Peace, & Anna Karenina) wrote:

  "In the name of God, stop a moment,
  cease your work, look around you!"

  What beautiful advice in a world that is moving Much Too Fast for us to enjoy the life and treasures He showers on us each day!
• So, stop a moment, cease your work and listen to a song by Chris Rice, "Hallelujahs," (from his CD, "Deep Enough to Dream.")
• “One thing I ask of the LORD, (just one thing out of all things!) this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek Him in His temple*(and that would take an eternity to see and comprehend Your beauty and the way You've fashioned our lives in it!)” (Psalm 27:4).
• Where have you seen God's beauty today?
