This evening friends and family gathered at a high-flutten resteraunt in Birmingham to honor the birthday of a special friend. This friend is a one-of-a-kind not unlike you! She was one of the first people to step into my office after my dad passed away and prompted me to heal. She was CHRIST to me.
Tonight, I experienced another kind of gift. My church left, for me and my family, a gift that sheds light on the huge Easter experience. Each year has been joy upon joy to share with my family. And, my girls almost stand taller (if possible) when they see the church their dad serves pour out so much love this time of year. I feel love throughout the year, but this time of the year is a special opportunity to share a Happy Easter Gift. My church never misses an opportunity to remind me they care! This year, like years prior, we had an Easter Basket waiting.
Too many times we overlook the joy of the body of Christ...why? Why would we miss out on elevating what God is doing in and through others...through ourselves?
This Easter pause and think then...thank! Thank others for their thoughtfulness and caring. If we all did it within our circle...it just might become contagious. Praise be to God!
