Easter thoughts

So I never really know what to write. I have all these great ideas of things I could tell you, but I really am not a fan, deep down, or writing. It's hard to make myself take a moment and tell the world about my goings ons. unless there is no one to listen to me :-) no really.

Anyway, this past week we celebrated Easter. I felt like I should write something special and meaningful. As I was thinking about Christ dying on the cross for us, one thing popped up over and over and over again. Love. We need to love one another. That's what it was all about. God's love for us. By us demonstrating God's love to others, by loving them, we are giving them a glimpse of God. Easter seems like a time of sadness, reflecting on the cross, getting deep and personal. And also a time of rejoicing at the resurrection, that Christ rose from the dead, and offers us that same renewal.

But really, we should be rejoicing in Love, and Easter should almost be a day of service for us. Most of us spend Easter with family, ok I understand some people struggle to love their family, but really for the most of us, that is where we feel most secure. We know they already love us, we already love them, but really we should be loving on people that don't deserve our love. Christ gave himself up for all of us. All of us who are undeserving of love. we ought to give up a little of ourselves, our time, whatever, so that we can truely share that love with others.

Easter should not be just one day of the year that we rejoice in the cross, but really should make up our whole year in celebrating his death and resurrection. so yeah I don't get the whole bunny rabbits and egg thing. but I do understand the love.
