Resurrection

Cold He lay behind the heavy stone,
Hidden there with broken hands and feet.
Ruthless powers crushed His flesh and bone.
It looked to be the ultimate defeat.
Sadly, in the dawn Saint Mary’s three
Trudged toward the tomb wherein He lay.
Instead of death, an angel helped them see,
Startled, that the stone was rolled away!
A risen Jesus stood! He still drew breath!
Radiance around Him warmed the air. 
In banks of lilies sweet we now see death
Stripped of terror. Life, eternal, fair,
Enjoins us all to claim His victory.
Naught could stop us save our vanity.



FreeThinke, The Sandpiper - Spring 1996

    Off topic: Did you see that Boris Johnson has now been released from the hospital? A Happy Easter for him, no doubt.

    1. Thanks, DD! I've been having the BEST time this weekend, myself, for any number of good reasons.

      I beginning to feel that we are going to pull out of this crisis much sooner than most have thought, an that the devastating effects will turn out to be fairly minimal after all.

      Life is good, even in the worst of times, IF we concentrate on thinking POSITIVE.

      God bless!

    1. And to you, Andie!

      I already told you at your place, but I'll say again here: Your EASTER TABLE looks divinely beautiful.

      If the food is even half as good as the table setting, your dinner should make everyone present feel as though they've already arrived in HEAVEN.

      HAPPY EASTER!

    1. He is, INDEED! May His Presence bring much joy and fulfillment to you, FJ.

      We may not be able to change WORLD for the better, but with Jesus Christ in our heats and minds we can change OURSELVES.

      That means we can make better and better decisions as to how WE may CHOOSE to R_E_S_P_O_N_D to the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune."

      Embracing "French Thought" won't do it. ];^}>
