Easter

The joyful news that He is risen does not change the contemporary world. Still before us lie work, discipline, sacrifice. But the fact of Easter gives us the spiritual power to do the work, accept the discipline, and make the sacrifice. ~Henry Knox Sherrill

What we do in this world does make a difference. It's not only the destination, but also what we do on the journey that gets us to our desire. If we believe in our hearts, then what we do should shine through. We are not God's puppets, but his children with the free will to do as we think is right and choose is good. We will make mistakes, but we learn from those mistakes and choose better next time. Jesus died so that we may live on. He showed the way. He loved us and sacrificed for us so that we would do so for others. He died and rose to live in Heaven with our Father. All I know is that Heaven is a wonderful, beautiful place where we will be with those we love without the trappings of this world. Thank God for Jesus!
