keep on celebrating


Believers were able,
 once again, 
to freely celebrate the resurrection of Jesus yesterday.
I don't know how much longer,
but yesterday the bells tolled all over this land 
because Jesus has risen from the dead.
He is alive!!!

Without the resurrection of Jesus,
there would be no Christianity, 
no hope for eternal life,
nothing at all except a dead faith.

I love a party.
Yesterday we celebrated Easter here at this house.
I cooked and cleaned and decorated 
and looked forward to those first guests coming up the stairs.
We ate, and laughed, and hunted Easter eggs.
I made my now famous pecan pie
and we feasted all over again
holding on to hot coffee mugs in comfy chairs
enjoying each others funny stories.

Every day 
should be a celebration of God's love and mercy toward us,
 His chosen ones.
Once a year is not enough to remember what He did.
Be thankful every new morn.
Give praise and thanksgiving for His gift of life
and forgiveness of our sins 
and the promise of eternal life.
Party on dear ones....
Life is a joyful occasion as we journey on to paradise.

Thanks David for the last words of your sermon yesterday
which brought this blog to life.
