We need to remind ourselves of the meaning of Easter, as another Lent comes to an end, along with the death of Jesus and the celebration of the Resurrection.  Lent is about sacrifice and becoming a better person through sacrifice.  Sometimes sacrifice is about doing something, instead of giving something up.  Lent should not have an end.  It is the beginning to a change that should be carried on throughout your entire life. 

The Death of Jesus is the ultimate gift from God the Father.  The gift of Forgiveness for our sins.  There is no greater gift then being forgiven for our transgressions.  When someone hurts you or sins against you, pray for them and give them the blessing of your forgiveness.  I know it is very hard, but think how much it will please God.  Then comes the resurrection, a new beginning, the Joy that Jesus is now at the right hand of the Father.  This reminds us that Jesus is the pathway to God the Father.  Prepare your heart for Easter, God’s Love for us, the sadness of the crucifixion and the Joy of the Resurrection.

Have a Blessed Easter!
