Easter If...

I shared something like this with my congregation yesterday & wanted to share a grin with you...

It might be Easter if the sunrise meant a little more to you today than on any other day.

It might be Easter if you stayed up late or woke up early to iron some special clothes.

It might be Easter if you are, by choice or against your will & better judgment, wearing  some shade of pastel today.

It might be Easter if you considered how to start in on that tasty chocolate bunny: ears or tail?  Or maybe feet, so he can't run away!

It might be Easter if you were somehow in some way more considerate of your personal relationship with Jesus this week.

It might be Easter if you have some sort of artificial grass "growing" from your living room carpet right now.

It might be Easter if you have a ham in the oven & your worried that it'll be dried out if the preacher goes long.

It might be Easter if you are wondering where you hid that last plastic egg.  Was it under that or back there?

It might be Easter if its 10am & you have a sugar-buzz from all the candy you consumed before coming to church.

It might be Easter if you cried when we sang "Because He Lives" just a few moments ago.

It might be Easter if you are smiling beacuse you know Jesus loves you & even an army of bunnies with baskets & sweets can't get in the way of that truth.

Christ is risen.

He is risen indeed.
