MOUNTAINS AND MONDAYS

Mountains...and Mondays!

I'm not a mountain climber, but I've seen the videos! Awesome, exhilarating moments when they reach the top.....and for most of us Easter Sunday was the top of the mountain. High praises, heavenly lilies, happy children--beauty and blessing all around--in sermon, in song, in family gatherings, in traditions and sharing of love--and yes, even in the ladies with courage to wear Easter hats! It's a day of celebration. Jesus is alive--He fills our hearts to the tiptop with joy and life; He's our reason for being--our reason for living, and how we love Him!
Uh....that was Sunday......but Monday came and --back to the office and the email; back to the laundry and dishes; back to the time-outs and taxis for kids....back to reality! Will the joy we felt Sunday still be there on Monday? He's just as much risen TODAY as He was last Sunday....and He's here to meet your daily routine needs, to give you a deep joy that doesn't fade...even when the Easter flowers do! He's alive for the highs AND the lows of your life--whatever day it is. Let's celebrate Jesus EVERY day...for whether it's mountains OR Mondays, HE doesn't change! Believe it, take an Easter praise break today--and have a GREAT day!
