Easter High!

My main goal this week has been to do whatever it takes to prolong the high I felt on Easter morning. It was the culmination of a very emotional Holy Week all of which provided for me the entire journey of Christ's love and sacrifice for us. This week, the flowers have been brighter, the sun more sun-shinier and the voices of those around me have a certain richness to them. The experience of Easter morning worship is the ultimate renewal...way more meaningful than the marking of the new year and all the promises we make during that time. The real newness comes when we are smack dab in the middle of a celebration that throws joy in your face and demands you pay attention to the love and grace God has for us.
Of course for me the best way to keep this reality in my face is to be outdoors and be 'in' God's creation...remembering again that I am a creation of God just like these amazing tulips. They are glorious aren't they? And we are glorious in God's sight.
