This coming Monday begins what is called in the church Holy Week. It is the week before Easter and during it we remember some of the events that led up to Easter. We are reminded of The Last Supper and all that happened that night. Our minds try to grasp the arrest and crucifixion. After the death there is silence and then the big surprise that He is alive. For me Holy week has never been easy. So many emotions and thoughts fly in and through my mind that I am always glad to see Easter break through. From my vantage point Easter cannot get here soon enough.
Thinking about all of this has caused me to meditate on the idea that much of life is like the week before Easter. There are ups and downs and sometimes there are even curcifixions and deaths. Easter never seems to be soon enough. However looking back on my life I see that Easter does happen in many ways and at various times. So, during Holy Week live with anticipation of Easter coming. Come to think of it live all of life with the thought that Easter is coming.
