Rejoice,
It's Easter!!!

Spring awashes the land with gentle showers of rain and awakens new life to the world. Along with Spring comes the holiday we call "Easter". It is a time to REJOICE!!!

REJOICE, at the flowers that bloom everywhere, perfuming the breeze with fragrance!

REJOICE, at the birds that made it through Winter to sing again!!!

REJOICE, at the butterflies that flit amongst the fields and flowers, prettily waving their wings!!!

REJOICE, at the JOYS of Spring, with the land awakening and new life beginning!!!

REJOICE, for the sacrifice of Jesus, whose teardrops watered our souls like rain, giving us Eternal life through his death!!!

That act of unselfish LOVE is "Easter".

REJOICE, It's Easter

May you and Yours have a BLESSED one, forever remembering the sacrifices he made for us all.

HAPPY

EASTER!!!

Below is a story that was sent to me by E-mail and has always touched my heart and opened my eyes. I do not know who wrote it but I hope you enjoy it.

YOU TOOK MY PLACE

One day, a man went to visit a church. He arrived early, parked his car, and got out. Another car pulled up near him, and the driver told him, "I always park there. You took my place!" The visitor went inside for Sunday School, found an empty seat and sat down. A young lady from the church approached him and stated, "That's my seat! You took my place!" The visitor was somewhat distressed by this rude welcome, but said nothing. After Sunday School, the visitor went into the church sanctuary and sat down. Another member walked up to him and said, "That's where I always sit. You took my place!" The visitor was even more troubled by this treatment, but still said nothing. Later, as the congregation was praying for Christ to dwell among them, the visitor stood, and his appearance began to change. Horrible scars became visible on his hands and on his sandaled feet. Someone from the congregation noticed him and called out, "What happened to you?" The visitor replied, "I took your place."
