If you start from the beginning of the three days of Easter,
life is a bit easier to grasp.
Good Friday is good for most, but not good for the many that
sacrificed over time to allow us to even have such a day. A day where the ultimate sacrifice was made,
spurred by mob mentality. A night where
a man was put to death, when all He wanted was a better life… for you.
But, put it in your own perspective. Friday was also Vietnam Veterans Memorial
Day. A day recognized for the sacrifices
of many, spurred on by a war that no one wanted. On a personal level it was my mother’s
birthday. So, to me this past Friday saw
a celebration and recognition of both life & death. Some may say, what is good about death? All I can say to that is, that war is over
and although many more are being fought, I like to think of the good in life
that will ultimately prevail.
In these three days of Easter, Saturday is a reflective
day. If Friday is about sacrifice &
death, I guess Saturday is a day of atonement & reflection. Which brings us to today, Easter Sunday. What does it mean to you? Does it have any significance at all besides
hidden & painted eggs?
Easter to me is the best Holiday because it brings new
life. It is in the springtime when
flowers bloom and birds sing to take flight to familiar destinations as once
again life begins anew.
I hope that in some way you can pause and reflect on not
just your own life, but on the life around you.
While many in this world struggle to survive on a day-to-day basis, for
just the essentials of food, shelter & water, know that we are blessed in
this country. But it’s a country being driven
further and further from the truth. A
country whose leaders seem to care less about your life and more about their
own. A country becoming more secular
& Godless, a country driven by a mob mentality which if left to continue
is destined in only one outcome…death.
History doesn’t lie, but it does repeat.
Today is Easter Sunday and many do not believe in its true
meaning. A day when new life is born, in
the springtime, not the cold of winter or the heat of summer. It is the best of Holidays, even when we
think of the pain, hardships & sacrifice made to celebrate it.
Whether you are secular or spiritual, this day exists so we
can all take a step back, pause & reflect, and try and put into focus that
no matter what you want to believe, search yourself…do you really think we are
nothing more than flesh & blood where our bones eventually turn to ash?
Tell me, have you never had even one thought in your head of
something better than what this world provides?
To chase dreams of lust & luxury that only end in a cold grave. No…you are more than that, we are all more
than that. So today, this Easter Sunday,
celebrate in knowing that there is something better out there and if you
haven’t found it, I pray one day soon you will…why not let it be today? It’s the best day to start your life
anew. Don’t let mob mentality and media
driven madness steal your life, your spirit, your soul. In a country founded on trusting in God, it’s time we trusted.
No matter your beliefs, no matter your religion, no matter
if you’ve never cared or are scared to think of it, have faith that there is
something more to your life…something more that through out history many have
died for, but in the end new life begins.
I invite you to enjoy what this new life has to offer this Easter
Sunday. Have a blessed day knowing that no
matter what, life can & will begin anew.
