(yes, that is my cute self! )
Easter is all about eggs, boiled hams, bunnies, Peep sugar highs, and all things pastel right? To a lot of people that holds true. But as I sip my coffee and quitely ponder on the true meaning of this special holiday, I can't help but let a lot of words pour into my head.Words that begin with RE to be more specific.
And I begin to REflect. With an inward and outward dimension. Because when we reflect, it's good for the soul. And often when we reflect what's best around us, its good for the world as well.
I reflect on the REsurrection of our sweet Jesus. How this Good Friday marks the slaying our Jesus. The perfect sacrifice. How he took our guilt and blame upon Himself, so that we could one day be with him in paradise. How on Easter morning, he came back from death. His REsurrection means eternal life for me, for you, the ones he came to earth to save. Amazing love indeed.
I reflect on trying to REnew. Renew the things I care about. Committments, friendships, my spirit. Most importantly, renewing my relationship with the Lord. To live better, to do better, to shine light where shadows lingered.
I reflect on the word REstore. Restoring things that are important in my life. Relationships, my health, my faith. Picking up the pieces and making things whole again. Having the opportunity to reasses my needs and priorites and choosing to put things right within my soul.
And as I reflect, I feel REfreshed. The resurgent energies of the approaching spring, the boundless, sweet love given to me because Jesus gave his life. What peace, happiness, and unimaginable blessings He has given to us.
Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, He has risen.
Luke 24:5
Luke 24:5
This Good Friday, I hope you REFLECT.
