Be Longings

I don't like going to church without Amy on a regular Sunday...to attend Easter services without her was especially difficult. It's the first Easter in our marriage that we didn't worship together and I didn't handle it well.

The children were adorable. The food (we're Baptists we eat) was great. Gordon's sermon was tremendous...but Amy wasn't there.

Without her by my side, I didn't feel like I belonged.

Upon reflection I now think that's a good thing.

You see, on this day it's not necessarily bad to feel as if you don't belong...at least at first.

After all, none of us really deserve to "be there" - but we do....because He is Risen!


Happy Easter my friends.




p.s. Happy Birthday Sarai!
