Even more than a weekend...
After tomorrow, Easter baskets will be put a way for the year. Easter dresses and suits will be saved for another special occassion. Some will have checked the one or two times they attend church for the year off of their calendars. And Easter will officially be over...
But is it?
It is more than a day, a weekend...It is life...everyday and every moment!
Most people will sing He Arose!, but did He arise in our hearts?
Do we only remember His love for us just on Easter? Shouldn't we be filled by hope, love, thankfulness and praise that we gladly choose to share that with others everyday, and express it daily to God through each moment of our lives?
Is it just a history lesson, or is it a way of life?
The story continues, for Christ lives in us and with us and all praise and glory be given to him!
Matthew 28:19-20
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

awsome!!! we do need to remember His life each and every day because without Him we wouldn't really be ALIVE! He is our life! He is the reason we LIVE! Easter is an amazing time in my life, but it shouldn't just be a time...it should be my LIFE! Awesome Jenn...let's CELEBRATE! Love you tons and tons!
What a great post, Jenn! To those who have a relationship with Christ, Easter is much more than egg hunts and baskets. Christ gave up His life so we could be forgiven. What an awesome sacrifice! And Happy Easter...see you bright and early! :)
you always are so good with words! Easter is a special time, but it shouldn't be something that we just think of at Easter!!
You are right. I don't know why I contain my gratitude for God's sacrifice for me only to celebrate on Easter. His love for us should be celebrated everyday!
