I hope everyone had a good Easter Weekend.  He is risen!  I know many of you worked and I hope you found some time to reflect even in the busyness.  (My first shift supporting people in their own home was on Good Friday a few years back I always am reminded of those men at Easter.) 

I wanted to pass on a reading that we did at my church at our Good Friday evening service.  I really liked it.

If you have ever believed that love inevitably leads to betrayal
this day says it doesn’t.


If you have ever believed that some people are unlovable, irredeemable
this day says they aren’t.


If you have ever believed that there is a limit to forgiveness
this day says there isn’t.


If you have ever believed you aren’t worth saving
this day says you are.


If you have ever believed that you don’t deserve freedom
this day says you do.

If you have ever believed that fear, anger, hate and despair will always win
this day says they won’t.


And this day is good for you.

good one Mark, one word sums that up and the first time we hear of that one word in scriptures, Gen. 28:17, "Awesome", bringing us back into a Holy Place or frame of mind.
