May I reach
That purest heaven, be to other souls
The cup of strength in some great agony,
Enkindle generous ardor, feed pure love,
Be the sweet presence of a good diffused,
And in diffusion ever more intense!
So shall I join the choir invisible
Whose music is the gladness of the world.
GEORGE ELIOT.
This is the Easter of Firsts. The first that Emily has to work. The first where we are not prepping for an Easter Egg Hunt. The first where we are not involved in serving inside the Church service. The first Easter in a very long time that hasn't been cold outside.
There are many things we are missing this Easter, but the love and sacrifice the Good Lord has done for us fulfills our every need. We are celebrating. We are blessed. We are grateful.
Not everyone can celebrate with full gala dinners and family get-togethers. There are so many people out there that we take for granted, because all we can think about is making that perfect dinner for ourselves. There are people who are working today providing a service to us to make our lives easier. Yet, we treat them with rudeness and obscene comments. I think Holidays bring out the worst in people, because we forget the true meaning of them.
So as we shove and push through the stores, the churches, the events and restaurants. Remember, someone is giving up their celebration to bring you satisfaction. The problem is that we are at our rudest during a holiday. We complain. We huff and puff. We are true Israelites!
Be kind today, because Jesus gave up His life so we could live in eternity pain free and in luxury! Be kind to the people who are working and providing a service to you. Both my children worked today. Both my children celebrated in their hearts as they provided a service to all of you.
Happy Easter everyone. Our Lord Lives!
