Since the Easter season is really celebrated for fifty days until the time when the Holy Spirit was sent, let us reflect on the meaning of Easter Joy in our lives.

Easter is a joyful time
when we see God’s love at the fullest.
LIFE IS BEGINNING ANEW.
If we look around, we see God’s love unfolding in nature—
the trees begin to blossom
and the chirping of the birds can be heard.
LIFE IS BEGINNING ANEW.
Easter is when God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ,
to die for YOU and ME
and then to RISE on the Third Day.
LIFE IS BEGINNING ANEW.
We are God’s creation,
Jesus’ love must be reflected in each of us.
The Lord loved you so much that He died for YOU!
LIFE IS BEGINNING ANEW.
Let us share that Easter JOY of the Resurrection
with every person we encounter
and enrich their lives by our presence
because of what Jesus did for YOU!
LIFE IS BEGINNING ANEW.
He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then He said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” –Revelation 21:5 (NIV)
So that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed. The God of peace be with you all. Amen. –Romans 15:32-33 (NIV)
