Happy Easter 2013

Most gifts come wrapped in ribbon, but not all. The most precious gift any of us could ever receive was wrapped in a shroud. No one is going to make you accept this rarest of all gifts. It's up to you.

We have so many fresh starts each year that we tend to take them for granted. A new calendar year, a new growth season, a new school year, a new harvest celebration. Even each Sunday is a new start, a new week. Don't become so complacent that you miss your last chance for a new life.

It may be raining outside this morning, but there's sunshine waiting for us who accept Christ's gift.

Happy Easter,
