Easter and a New Heart

During the Christmas season is was at times difficult to focus on the season.  Recovering from open heart surgery on December 13th & home from the hospital on December 17th was not much time to enjoy the holiday season!  Now fours months out from surgery, Easter is a time for a more clear look at faith and not only healing & recovery from a "defective" heart, but our "defective" faith. 

The story of Easter and what the journey was 2000 years ago humbles us to this day.  God's son walked on this earth, lived day to day as we do, and ultimately died for us!  What do we do each day for each other?  How do we handle out walk?  On Easter Sunday, 2011, I will try to focus on the time I have, to make my walk, and my gift (an upgraded quintuple bypass heart),  a more focused walk to a gift from the cross that even today, over 2000 years later a story of God's love!

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
-- John 3:16 NIV
