Saturday

Saturday.
So surreal now with Jesus gone.
What will life be like now around here?
Did He really mean those words about "returning from the dead?"
So many more questions today.  So many doubts...

Promises...promises...
so far, He's told the truth...
to figure out what happens next,
it seems, would take a sleuth!
I know the things He said to us
about the days that are;
but why do several promises
seem very, very far?

But Sunday's after Saturday;
AND SUNDAY BRINGS NEW LIFE!
The week that we have just been through
was pain and grief and strife!
Tomorrow is a promise made,
TOMORROW IS FULFILLED!
Looking back--it was exactly
as The Father willed!

Tomorrow--Sunday!  Life anew
and cause to celebrate!
Tell everyone you know "HE LIVES!"
He had a higher fate!
And that new life He offers all
who come with open heart!
Jesus Christ--eternal life!
"O GOD, HOW GREAT THOU ART!!"

Again, we have hindsight and reality to cling to as we celebrate Jesus!  He is worthy of celebration!  He is worthy of our love...our gifts...our time...our everything!  We are so fortunate to have such a loving Father Who would make such a wonderful way to reach us!
JESUS---PURE LOVE, MERCY AND GRACE!
