I everyone. Happy Easter. Easter is the day of highest worship attendance in the Christian faith.
Why do so many practicing and non-practicing Christians join in celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Maybe its because the events that led up to Jesus’ death are metaphoric to the tough and personally devastating occurrences in our lives. And the resurrection, represented on Easter, shows there is hope for something grand, that will take the restlessness and stressfulness away.
Ash Wednesday is celebrated forty days before Easter Sunday. An Ash Wednesday tradition, allowing ashes to be placed on one’s forehead, marks the beginning of lent. We are reminded by the ashes that when dead our bodies will return to the earth. We can use ash Wednesday as a metaphore for our lives.
After Jesus was murdered. He laid dead in a tomb.
On the third day he arose, and was made new. He experienced rebirth.

- I was restlessly unfulfilled. I was confused and distraught. During years used for the pursuit a better life, I continually returned to the same spot, having the same single concerns, rehashing the same questions. Why was I unfulfilled, confused and distraught? Why could I not hold onto happiness? I was without inner-peace. Oh, I enjoyed fleeting moments of gratification, but could not get my arms around the experience of living with ongoing happiness. I would experience the euphoric sensation that accompanied a certain accomplishment or achievement, but all too soon the feeling was gone. After years of thinking that there must be a better way, I decided to take the first step. I allowed myself to be open to another way of thinking. I made a decision to look at another option, another source of inner-peace and fulfillment. I discovered that when you know where love is, you can change yourself from the inside out. You can be enriched with happiness. Refreshingly, each of us possesses the where-with-all to remain loving to both our self and others. When you learn about Real Love, and where it is, then the view of life is seen from an entirely different perspective.
