Easter Miracles

It's a wonder.  A marvel.  An extraordinary event.  Today was one of those days.  To hear again the story of how amazing the God of this universe is.  To hear that He cares for us enough to send His Son into this world to become one of us and live the life we live.  To know that Jesus suffered and died and rose again for one purpose:  to have us in heaven with Himself.

This miracle then transforms into the miracles of our every day lives.  The chance to share this love with someone else.  The chance to speak "He is Risen" (Christus a resucitado!) and hear the voice of others who know and understand.  The chance to enjoy all that God gives us in this world even in the midst of trouble.

And it really isn't chance.  It is the Holy Spirit working in us that brings about all these things.  So whether we are in La Paz Honduras or Oviedo Florida, we are sharing this great news with those around us.  So whether we are young or old, we know that ours is a simple, childlike faith.  It is so simple.  For God so loved the world, He sent His one and only son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

We pray that you see this in our mission trip today.  Sharing the Good News while walking in the streets.  Easter egg hunts.  Sitting in the new pool.  Coloring with the children.

What a miracle!  Living life in faith.  Nothing could be better.
