Everyday

So today is Easter. Before I go on in this post I want to say that I love Easter and what it helps us to remember. On this day everything seems brighter. The songs at church, even though they have been sung a thousand times before, seem to mean something more. People come out to church and to celebrations their one time a year. Why is the question that I always ask myself. What is so powerful about this day that people come to church, families get together, and things seem different for just a moment.

The angel spoke to the women: "There is nothing to fear here. I know you're looking for Jesus, the One they nailed to the cross. He is not here. He was raised, just as he said. Come and look at the place where he was placed.
"Now, get on your way quickly and tell his disciples, 'He is risen from the dead. He is going on ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there.' That's the message."
The women, deep in wonder and full of joy, lost no time in leaving the tomb. They ran to tell the disciples. Then Jesus met them, stopping them in their tracks. "Good morning!" he said. They fell to their knees, embraced his feet, and worshiped him. Jesus said, "You're holding on to me for dear life! Don't be frightened like that. Go tell my brothers that they are to go to Galilee, and that I'll meet them there." Matthew 28:5-10

For this moment people begin to believe, if only for this moment and this day, that there is nothing to fear. When we realize that there is nothing to fear we are full of deep wonder and joy. We waste no time coming to hear this message and tell it to others. I would love for each one of us to have this wonder and joy each day. The wonder and joy that there is nothing to fear because we have a God that loves us and cares for us. Everyday we can realize that there is nothing to fear because Jesus lives everyday and the Spirit is with us everyday. My dream is that we all could share in this everyday. That everyday would be less and less about the mundane chores of life, and more and more about seeing God in every little thing we experience. Christ came to reedeem all back to God, to himself. Everyday we have nothing to fear. Those moments you experienced wherever you worshiped today that told you, "there is nothing to fear here," take them with you everyday. Christ is alive and there is nothing to fear here everyday for it is Easter everyday.

Namaste'
