"Happy Easter" -- an expression many people associate wtih baby bunnies, little chicks, hunts for colored eggs, and a giant rabbit that makes his way around the world leaving baskets of goodies for good boys and girls. While I love bunnies, chicks, and hunting for strangely colored eggs in the back yard, I think its important to remember the true significance of Easter.
Easter is arguably one of the most important days in the history of all mankind. It is the day Christ overcame death and gave anyone who will accept him the promise of eternal life. It doesn't get any simpler or better than that.
Easter is also a time to think about all of the blessings God has bestowed on us. If you can see, hear, speak, smell, walk, and touch, you are blessed. If you have someone to love and someone who loves you, you are blessed. If you have breath, you have life and you are blessed. When you really think about it, the best blessings are the simple things we take for granted in our every day life.
So, in the midst of your Easter festivities, I hope you will take a few minutes to reflect on the true meaning of Easter and to give thanks for all of your blessings.
Have a great day and "Happy Easter!" -- Keep shining!
