Our Lord has written the promise of the Resurrection
not in books alone...
But in every Leaf in the Springtime!
~ Martin Luther

I'm so glad that you "hopped" in!

This is my favorite time of year because, to me, it's the most glorious season of the year ...
"The Season O f Miracles!"

It's the season that touches the earth with freshness, harbors hope and renews faith. The birds that have been silent ... come out and sing, the melting frozen streams ... begin to ripple, the flowers that have been imprisoned ... come out and bloom.

Just as Spring comes awakening our sleeping earth each year, it is also the time that we celebrate one of the most holy days in the calendar of the Christian church. The Easter message is one of hope and victory over death, for it recalls that Christ rose from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. Easter symbolizes the love of God and the promise that man's soul is immortal.

For most people, Easter is a very joyous holiday that usually includes church services, family dinners, and Easter egg hunts. Sneaking into houses, hiding colored eggs and leaving baskets of goodies, the Easter Bunny is also a favorite part of this holiday for children.

I do hope you have a very
"Hoppy" Easter!

May your joy be as long as a rabbit's ears ...
and your sorrow as long as his tail!
