Little Easter's

Each Sunday is to be a celebration of Easter, a "little Easter".  I wonder, how many of us really think of Sunday and worship that way?  For most, we see Sunday as "our" day that is interrupted by Worship.  "Why do I have to take one hour and go to church?" is a refrain we often hear.  We view attendance at church as something to be endured, a joyless activity that fulfills our obligation to God and allows us to continue calling ourselves Christian.

But what if we think of each Sunday as a day to recapture the excitement and joy of Easter how much more wonderful might Worship and our faith life become?  Easter is spring-time and renewal; Easter is spending time with family and friends; Easter is joy and laughter; Easter is celebration of the fulfillment of God's promise to us.  I challenge you today to begin to look at Worship in a new light by viewing each Sunday as the day you recapture the experience of Easter, allowing it to revitalize you and prepare you to face whatever life may throw at you with joy and strength and renewed vigor.
