It Was Hard To Get Up This Morning But

It Was Hard To Get Up This Morning But

Picture you at a sunrise service,
A little chilled watching the sun arise,
Hear the bells calling joy to you,
A choir singing words of hope and love.

Picture the Lord risen, watching, smiling over all,
In the eyes of the loved ones beside you;
The silent city down below, no traffic yet this day,
As you relax and don’t want to leave.

Picture you and your family
Sitting on blankets with a breakfast basket,
You with a thermos of hot coffee,
Boiled eggs and buns, and then,

If you have little ones or even big ones,
Throw around colored eggs to find,
Daily cares left behind, save Love,
He is Risen.

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL.

Never tire of saying, He is Risen. Without the Resurrection, our faith is not - said St. Paul.While you capture a faithful family on Easter Day, this poem speaks to me about ordinary things (thermos) that must be prepared by mothers/women, so a family can have a time with the LORD. Adrian Rogers (A Baptist, but truly Christian) said we "walk with Jesus in doing the ordinary things ... even cleaning the toilet bowl." Well ... forgive me, accept a SEVEN
