I love Easter. What a great holiday. Christ died to give us a new life. Sweetest Day or President's Day can't compare to that. This year was an especially great year. Carrie and I are back for a good long time now. I loved getting to reconnect with so many friends and family this weekend. Good food is always a plus too.
Friday I got to watch the Passion of the Christ with my father in law. It is always a good and hard experience to watch.
What would the world look like if we were willing to lay our lives down for strangers or even friends. That would be a cool place.
Today we took part in an amazing service at our church.
Then we were met with a sight similar to this as we pulled out onto Glenway Avenue
I was reminded of these verses from Matthew's Gospel
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
