Risen

Easter

"Once more to new creation Awake,
and death gainsay,
For death is swallowed up of life,
And Christ is risen today!" ~ George Newell Lovejoy

"There is not room for Death,
Nor atom that his might could render void:
Thou - Thou art Being and Breath,
And what Thou art may never be destroyed." ~ Emily Bronte

"And he departed from our sight that we might return to our heart, and there find Him. For He departed, and behold, He is here." ~ St Augustine

"Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, “They have taken the Lord’s body out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!” Peter and the other disciple started out for the tomb. They were both running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He stooped and looked in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he didn’t go in. Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. He also noticed the linen wrappings lying there, while the cloth that had covered Jesus’ head was folded up and lying apart from the other wrappings. Then the disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in, and he saw and believed— for until then they still hadn’t understood the Scriptures that said Jesus must rise from the dead." ~ John 20:1-9

Happy Easter, friends!

    I don't comment here (maybe I have once before...)
    but I really like how you write- I think a talent of yours.
    I like the encouragement you write though you've known deep pain in your life.

    I came to vist your blog through Tesha:)

    Your drawings are unique and so good and beautiful. Another talent of yours that I enjoy to see.

    Maybe when you the time, I'd like to invite you to my blog someday.
    If you do, it would be wonderful to hear from you, for I don't have any kind of tracker to see whose visted.

    Blessings and Peace to you during this Easter season -so much to be thankful for in Christ our Lord!!
