Easter

This morning as I woke up to the sunlight cutting through my blinds and piercing my eyes, I thought,

Today is perhaps the most important day of the year.

Because without this day,

Christmas would have no meaning,

Birthdays would have no hope,

Independence Days would have no glory,

And there wouldn't be much for which to give thanks.

And yet Easter comes

Without much pomp,

But much arrayed in the majesty of Spring.

To remind us of the

Giver of Life

and His Atoning Sacrifice.

Which lights the world

with

Meaning

Vivacity

Wonder

and

Perfect Love.

And the truest carols that we sing,

On this day of days,

Are not from times of yore.

But from the acknowledging of simple awakenings

Somewhere within our souls

that

Christ Lives

and

He Loves Us.
