This day, this blessed holy day, is all about joy.
The joy of Christ Risen.
The joy of death defeated and sin conquered.
The joy of all things made new, and of hope restored.
The joy of reunions with loved ones, grief turning to exaltation, and broken hearts made whole.
Just joy.
That this life is not the end, but just the beginning of the soul's story and journey into God's Joy. His Kingdom. Home.
That goodbyes are not forever, but can be just pauses between conversations.
The good DOES win in the end.
And that love is triumphant.
A day of many joys. And you, my friends, are amongst the joys in my life. We talk, we share, we cry together and journey together. You are all so precious to Charles and I. We may not always agree on everything, but it is the different threads that make a tapestry pleasing to the eye. You bring so much richness to our lives, thank you for sharing yourself with us.
May joy be yours this Easter. May the Resurrection live in your hearts and sing in your souls.
Be blessed, my friends, and may you be a blessing unto others,
