The courtyard cross blossoms
Today is Easter Day - the delight of my heart, the promise of the presence of God with us always, the joy of light. Christus Victor! Christ Jesus is victorious over death...so what is there to fear? God is with us, God is for us, and all earth joins in the chorus of joy.
I've been to all of two services, and a portion of a third, enjoyed the Boy Scout breakfast, and wandered in my garden. The lamb is roasting in the oven, and the scent is filling the house with the promise of a feast. The skies are blue, the birds are singing, the flowers are in bloom. Is it always like this on Easter? No...I've been through several that were freezing cold, and a handful that had rain and clouds. Somehow, it doesn't seem to matter. The proclamation of resurrection overcomes gloominess, at least for me. This day brings me into a heart of celebration, of love, of possibility. Christ is risen indeed! Alleluia!
