Easter is Here! The Lord is Risen! We are loved and Redeemed! and God is Good All the time!

Dear Family of Love and Pilgrims on Our Journey!

Easter is Here, The Lord is Risen!, We are loved and redeemed and God is Good All the time!
That's quite a bit to say in one line but it is all true. We find ourselves back in the Easter Season and that makes our lives new again! Today was an awesome day at church and beyond. There is always something more deep, profound, and mystical about Easter ! It is a holiday / Holy Day like none other. We find ourselves no longer being bound by the chains of death but are introduced into God's eternal presence and love. We have and are set free from our sins and are the redeemed and forgiven Children of God. So how do we pray today?  We need to start by giving thanks and then be at prayer. 

Let us first meditate on God's goodness and love!


This Joyful Eastertide


Jesus we give thanks for your rising from the dead and redeeming us from sin, fear, and invisibility.

Jesus we give thanks for the women in your life who bore witness to your resurrection and thereby gave us a place in ministry with you.

Jesus we give thanks for your institution of the Holy Eucharist and making us aware of who you truly are in the breaking of the bread and in fellowship with one another.

Jesus we give thanks for your acceptance of all of us and including us on your journey with you.

Jesus we give thanks for your healing power everyday that we live move, and have our being. 

Jesus we give thanks for you who came down from heaven to be among us and live as we are from babyhood and until your resurrection.

Jesus we pray for all who are in need of healing now, be with them and may they feel your love and give them courage.

Jesus we pray for all clergy and lay ministers who are in need of rest after this Lenten, Holy Week and  Easter day.

Jesus we pray for all who mourn any kind of loss that they may feel your comforting hands upon them.

Jesus, we pray for all who are dying and those who have died and entered into the Thin  Places.

Good Night Dear Ones! I love you! Take care and let God's presence enfold you this night and always! Tomorrow is Easter Monday and we get to take a walk and feel Jesus on the Road to Emmaus. Remember also tomorrow is You Matter Monday! You matter to Jesus, God, The Holy Spirit, All of us, and Me! I hope you matter to you!

With love and blessings for a wonderful Easter Season!
