things are not always as they seem

 I love spring and I love Easter. The world coming back to life again after seeming cold and dead for so many months, reminds me every year of God's infinite wisdom and blessings. What appears dead on the outside or in the flesh, still has a living spirit.  

 Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ chose to carry out God's plan and suffer the Atonement so that we may all live again. I will be forever grateful for his sacrifice and love. I am thankful and humbled that my body may die, but my spirit will live on, and someday my body and my spirit will be reunited. Christ made this possible. Do I truly believe this? Yes. Especially in the spring when reminders of this beautiful miracle are everywhere.

 Things are not always as they seem. Life is eternal, and hope is always, always just under the surface. What would our lives be without hope? I can't imagine living a life without hope. In every bit of life - or death - in every bud and bloom and petal..... there is hope.

~ Happy Easter Everyone! ~

He Is Risen

"Christ the Lord is Risen Today - Alleluia!

Sons of men and angels say Alleluia!

Raise your joys and triumphs high - Alleluia!

Sing, ye heavens and earth reply - Alleluia!

"Love's redeeming work is done - Alleluia!

Fought the fight, the victory won - Alleluia!

Jesus' agony is o'er - Alleluia!

Darkness veils the earth no more - Alleluia!

"Lives again our glorious King - Alleluia!

Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!

Once he died our souls to save - Alleluia!

Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!"

"Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Take my load upon you and learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart

And ye shall find rest unto thy souls

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

~ Matthew 11: 28-30

Have a *wonderful* Easter everyone! xoxo
