This Is My Story! This is My Song.

Today they walk holding hands.
Yesterday they didn't speak.
Today the world is new
because they forgave
each other.  That's
Resurrection.

The beautiful forest was badly burned.
It was carelessness that caused it.
That was years ago.
Today young trees
sprout through
the blackened
earth.
Resurrection is real.

A  bird dropped seed as he flew.  One
seed fell into a crack in a large boulder.
The seed waited to die, but the
Sun and Rain smiled upon the
seed and it felt a stirring that
replaced all the darkness.
One day Rain and Sun
and seed all joined
hands.  And...
Resurrection.

All because the stone was rolled away,
death gave up in the face of Love.
Life now moved beyond the grave.
Hope became more than a
passing illusion.  The
world witnessed the
Wonder of all time.
And the news
spread to all
the world.
"He lives!   Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me and he talks with me."
The Resurrection that defines and
denies all darkness, even
yours and mine.
Christ is Risen.  He is Risen indeed.

May you know again and again the
thrill of birth in the Spirit.  No stone
can hold you back, for we are
people of the empty tomb.
He lived.  He died, and
He lives again 
in you.
"I serve a Risen Savior.
He's in the world today"
Resurrection!
Thanks be 
to God.

Amen
