Hey friends, Just a thought that I wanted to share with everyone on this site, for whatever reason you happen to find yourself here for~ I realize that I ended that sentence with a preposition, which is a big NOT among us teachers, so I will rephrase and say, "to find yourself here for, BIT$H." THERE, that ended with a noun. LOL.
This comes from a dear friend, mentor and genuine person- Glennon Melton- concerning Easter.
"Good Friday means that Life Hurts. Saturday means that if we wait and hope and keep vigil, Easter Sunday will come to prove that Love Wins. Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Pain, Waiting, Redemption. It's the greatest story ever told and that is because we ALREADY KNOW IT. It's the story of our lives, our days, our bodies, our relationships, and every flower and tree. If it's Friday for you, keep breathing. If it's Saturday for you, keep waiting and watching. If it's Easter for you, NOTICE AND REJOICE AND TELL ABOUT IT. Keep Easter tucked in your heart to pull back out and remember when Friday comes again. DO NOT BE AFRAID when it's Friday or Saturday. Remember that Sunday always comes. Easter is always, always on its way. That's the Good News. For EVERYBODY!"
You friends have saved me from myself. I hope this Easter weekend finds you all better, stronger people than when you came, and if not, at least more well-loved people, because there is so much of that going around this place. God bless us all.
