For those of you that still have some writing in you, write about Easter - what are your traditions, how do you celebrate the whole season, perhaps write a poem about the sensory elements of it, write what you want to in order to celebrate the season.

ReplyDeleteWe celebrate Easter to celebrate the day Jesus Christ rose from the dead after having been crucified and having died on the cross. During Easter we celebrate re-birth, the season of spring, and of hope in the darkness. We celebrate the culmination of all Jesus had tried to teach mankind while he was here among us.
I don't think we've even come close to properly celebrating or honoring what actually transpired that day. I don't think we can totally comprehend what has been done by God, through Jesus, on our behalf.
Jesus's birth, life and death all happened here on earth in the presence of man. Yet it was very much a spiritual event. So much of what Jesus taught us are still difficult lessons for us to understand. He spoke of the kingdom of heaven, the will of God, the importance of forgiveness, belief, hope, prayer and love.
Above all...love.
All lessons for the spirit.
All lessons taught out of love.
All lessons to help and to heal us and not to do us harm.
How to celebrate Easter?
It would be impossible for us to properly celebrate what Easter truly means.
But God knows what is in our hearts.
Through Jesus we also have a glimpse of what is in His.
And it is us, and we are loved.
Pat, this is beautiful.
