Easter Morning

As the world sings triumphant cries to heaven over death that You conquered, help us, Lord, in our tomorrows to never forget.

The celebration of Your Resurrection over death is a celebration of life that should continue well beyond the sunrise service and the music, rehearsed for days prior; it is beyond the sign of spring beyond the lily, beyond new lambs grazing in open fields.

Resurrection is a daily celebration over fear; man's greatest and most powerful enemy. Fear of tomorrow, fear of our yesterdays, fear of what shall become of our young our old our unborn. Let us always hold fast to the understanding that your resurrection conquered death and let it dispel our fear.

You sacrificed Your life, leaving those who had been comfort, and follower; You left them behind, to conquer death for us.

I shall cling to this now, and the tomorrows given me.
All my praise lifted unto You.

Amen.
