Easter Peace I try to write of finer things, Of God's pure love and angel wings. My mind projects me back to war And helplessly the sad words pour. Dear Jesus take us in your arms; Protect us from all that which harms. Peace in this world swiftly restore And show us how to love, not war. The Easter season, once more here Should help to smother every fear. We know you conquered hate and pain; Died on the cross and rose again. On Easter may the whole world feel Your love and know that God is real. By Joyce 4/02/03 |

It can be hard to think of a peaceful Easter.. but remember, the circumstances around the event were far from peaceful. Christ lived in an occupied land and as a member of an oppressed race. He told the people to live in peace, but He died a violent death. After He returned to heaven, the Apostles were persecuted and martyred for their faith. I don't think this world will be peaceful until Christ comes again and makes a new heaven and a new earth. The only peace we can find is within the will of God and knowing that we are His.  Oh, make me Thine forever |

Even Christ Himself was known as the Man of Sorrows, I think in the world full of pain we can just be a light and show how we can live righteous holy lives, thriving through the torture... but its still ok to be sad, because, it is sad. Thank you Lord for setting us free! by His stripes we are healed wonderful poem! Always, Alyssa - And so it was that time stood still - |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Joyce, this is so very heartfelt, dearest friend, it still saddens me to think of Him suffering and I do believe we will never be saved until He comes back again! (sad sigh) I pray soon love can flood the world again as I believe love will find a way, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joyce, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Joyce, Easter does have an amazing way of bringing us all back to the reality and to the realization of what sacrifices were made and who truly made the most significant sacrifice of them all for our ultimate freedom. Oh, I do agree, "On Easter may the whole world feel Your love and know that God is real." Amen. This is our most heartfelt and hoped for request, I believe, for our world today. Happy Easter and God bless you and yours throughout this Easter season. -Bob |
