I hunger and thirst for the face of Lord, for the hugs of the Father, for the love I feel for them to grow. I appreciate the small things and the large things that They, with the Holy Spirit, provide for me. I depend on Them for everything. Apart from God, I have nothing. Yet, I will enjoy the children this Easter and appreciate the health and provision that we enjoy. There is always an awareness of this gap between my weak understanding and my hope for the future. Today reminds me that Jesus was willing to go to the cross for my future. I cannot hold that gift lightly.I am willing to pick up my crosses daily to serve others as a token of my love and appreciation for Jesus and the Father and the Holy Spirit's commitment to me and all that I love.
Love is never easy. Love costs. Love is serving, giving, giving up, waiting, choosing good feelings and words over the negative. Love is not complaining. Jesus never complained about having to lay His life down for us. Lord, grant us all more strength in our inner being to serve you and others with gladness and singleness of heart. He has Risen. He has Risen. He has Risen.

Jennifer, Happy Easter, Yes Christ is Risen Alleluia. It is good to be reminded that Easter comes in the midst of taking up our cross. You are so right love is never easy. I appreciate your post and blog.
Thank you David and Maureen.
Maybe that's what we are doing: laying down our hearts and hopes in an anticipation that God can recreate or at least reposition us later. I liked hearing that reminder that Jesus never complained about having to lay His life down.
Amen
