Thoughts on Easter ........


On that gray, gray day

standing in that lonely forgotten cemetery

amongst that crowd of familiar faces clothed in black.

She feels so numb,

death's sting still so fresh,

and the huge cavern of grief that now exists within her.

In the midst of it all she notices how the sun had broken through those gray, gray clouds

the warmth on her face

and the peace that now envelopes her.

Do you recognize her?

We have all been in that place, in varying degrees.

So today I am thankful for my risen saviour,

who has conquered sin and death

and left us with...Hope.
