Easter

I enjoyed the seasonal activities of Easter; coloring eggs, eating ham and deviled eggs. But as my mind centered on the resurrection of Jesus I am sobered. I can't even imagine a love that would cause me to let my child die for someone's bad choices. I think I love my children unconditionally, totally and while I hope I would give up my life for them, how could you give up their live for someone that was not even close to being the superior character they were? I am so grateful that my heavenly father was willing to give up his son for me. Wow! Just blows my mind and is so much beyond my comprehension.
So today, I am so thankful that God has a love that far surpasses any human love. I am thankful that Jesus went through with the crucifixion to rise again. His death and resurrection means I am covered from all the dumb and selfish things I do. I am so humbled that I can take part in this great love.............

What if......

we long too much for what's next, without enjoying that's now?

we think too much, believe too little?

we talk a lot, but listen sporadically?

we go through the practices of worship, but never really worship?

I, for one find it much easier to do the first over the latter. Why does the human rule the spiritual in my life? Why does what is dying, have so much power over that which will never die? I have the questions, and I also have the answers.....
What rules, is what is fed. I feed my physical much more than I feed my spirit. I hope to find the place where I can feed one less and gorge on feeding the eternal. But this is just another step in my journey and the results are out of this world.......
