I love this time of year! Everything is so fresh and green, almost a perfect lime green with all the little new leaves coming out. These were taken along our river greenway system again just this morning. The green of the plants was so intense even the reflections in the water looked green. The two Canadian geese looked like they were sitting on green glass! I hope everyone has a pleasant and blessed day. Praise God!

REFLECTIONS
We were created to be
Reflections
Mirrors of someone
Greater, Higher, Wiser
Purer
Easter gives us our chance
To once more dance
At the foot of His Throne
Held enthralled within the golden glow
Of His Beauty
But all of that dance
Requires for us to return
To that which so many spurn
Obedience, submission
To God’s will
So reach for that opportunity
To once again live in unity
With someone so beautiful
That submission to Him
Only brings about a win
For you of perfection’s glory!
Easter II
Easter is a time
To remind
Of this earth’s re-birth
A removal of
Our own sin’s curse
It was an absolute win
Of Jesus the living Christ
As He gave us a chance
At a totally new life
A REBIRTH of His Paradise
As He stepped out
Of a darkened tomb
He was giving us a chance
To come out of
That darkened womb
Of our own evil rebellion
Easter is as in
His Holy Book
A telling of that story
Wherein is revealed
God’s greatest glory
His Mercy, Grace &
Forgiveness
His love for us so great
He was willing to put at stake
His own SON’S LIFE
The greatest sacrifice
So on that history-shattering day
We were eternally saved
Out of His Greatest Love
From forever being thrown
Into infinity’s blackest abyss
A Fateful Day
on a fateful day
a young man died
as he breathed in, took his last sigh
angels watched from
purest celestial skies
He relinquished
His Spirit
In a pain, deep & burning
At that moment,
the universe stopped turning
to watch & see
what would happen next
what for mankind would be
their second step
would we take notice
follow in obedience
or just turn our backs
with only a shrug
or a mild grimace
never before in man’s history
had for us been such a day
so blistering
with meaning, intensity
when God once more
brought back to earth
His clearest sanity
Easter
White rabbits & chocolate bunnies
All those warm, soft fuzzies
Pastel eggs hidden in green grass
Until a happy child makes
A joyful discovery of them at last
With loud, sudden squeals of delight
What a truly pleasing sight!
All dressed up in clean, bright clothes
All done for this day’s special show
Soft ribbons in the hair
New shoes, polished, & on the feet
& goodies that will not long
Be allowed in a basket to keep
Nothing wrong with these simple delights
God does not mind us
Enjoying all his blessings
But with many of these gifts
May also at times come a terrible testing
This day of Easter is really
About a sacrifice
Not to be forgotten
For all our joys & pleasures
Came at the cost of another’s life!
A bloodied cross, a broken body
An empty tomb
God’s love on display
Brought about all of the
Joys & pleasures of this day
Made us once more
Welcome in Heaven
Brought us back into
God’s loving arms
Safe at last from all of
satan’s cruelest harms
So on that most glorious day
Our eternal souls were saved
As Christ stepped back out
Into a world He owned
Eternity’s power rolled back
That oh so heavy stone
So you too also may
Be allowed to step out of
Your own emptied grave!!
