A pass along email from Bob and Nancy Hall for Easter:

An Easter Prayer

Lord,

Thank You for the gift of HOPE

You gave us on Easter morning.

Because of You we know

That no problem is too difficult

And even death does not have power over us.

Thank you for the gift of JOY

You gave us when You were resurrected.

Because of You we know

That no matter how challenging life may be,

In the end we will rejoice again.

Thank You for the gift of LOVE

You gave us when You laid down Your life.

Because of You we know that there is no sin too great to separate us

And we are incredibly valuable to You.

Thank You for the gift of LIFE

You gave us when You left the tomb.

Because of Easter we know

This world is just the  beginning

And we will spend forever in heaven with You.

We celebrate You, JESUS,

with hearts full of praise and gratitude

for who You are and all You’ve done for us!

Amen.
