What Easter Brings- (Including a GIVEAWAY!)

It's with hope that Easter comes. The restful weariness of winter slowly ebbs away, cold seeping out of pores, warms with the earth. Greens blossom. Our hearts blossom. HOPE.  



He rode into town, a hero and a saint. "The whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen..." (Luke 19:37b) But they hadn't really seen anything yet. Not yet.
For in a few short days the shouts of praise would turn to sneers and contempt as the Savior died for the world He loved but didn't love Him. 

And three days after that. 

Three days after that. A tomb stood empty. 

Greens blossom. Hearts blossom. HOPE- in one man, in one price, in one death, in one life- blossoms at Easter.

What was buried rose, alive and full and vibrant, and...for you. For you. A gift years in the making, a Father's heart in the center too full of love to contain it any longer, so for you- a gift in Easter. HOPE. 

Why not count it down this year? Why not mark the days and mark your heart with the HOPE that is all for you? Why not pause from busyness, recover from weariness, saturate in thankfulness, overflow with joyfulness, and burst with celebration on that day? We remember. Oh that day of HOPE. Count down with me.
