Well it's midnight and we are on the road. Almost in Macon to be exact. I've had not one spare minute the last day or two to get a nice Easter greeting typed up- and ready to post.
Technically I'm a day late. So since I'm so late, I hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter. This is THE day that every inch of faith that is present in our lives revolves around. Every ounce of hope that exists in our being is solely dependent on that completed work at Calvary and the resurrection 3 days later.
Just imagine what our lives would be like without those 3 most historic days in our Christian history. I don't even want to think of it. If you could imagine the most desperate, hopeless, and despondent place a man could be - that's the wretch we'd all be were it not for the wonderful hope offered to us through the resurrection of Christ, alone.
Fortunately the resurrection is a beautiful picture of new beginnings. And even when we find ourselves overwhelmed with the need to doubt; the one who loved us enough to suffer torture for our sins, has enough compassion to understand our human-ness and our nature to be skeptical that such a miracle is possible. It is in time such as these Christ has a way of letting us know that He truly is alive!
So although I can't say that I've mimicked Thomas and asked Christ to prove himself with the scars, I have needed to feel His hand in the roughest circumstances, and without fail, He's always obliged and what a comfort getting to feel those hands can be! Just as it had to be a comfort to Thomas that day.
So my hopes and prayers are that this Easter was as wonderful for you as it was for us. It truly was wonderful.
Note: Tonight was our 'debut' of our new CD and it's pretty awesome if I have to say so myself. We've listened to it continuously for the past 2.5 hours and have a feeling it'll keep playin for a while longer.
Aunt Linda, I have your 4 copies with me.
