Happy Easter
In the spirit of the Easter season, realizing the true reason we celebrate Easter:
To commemorate Christ's sacrificial death and
resurrection for all of us!
On Summerset Banks blog, Pins and Needles, she expressed a similar statement, and I knew I wanted to do the same.
I have heard it said, in the first century after Christ's death and resurrection there was a formal greeting between people of faith that started with one person saying,
"Jesus Christ is risen," and it was followed by another person replying, "He is risen indeed!"
I had the privilege today at church to provide the piano accompaniment for a male soloist who sang, "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban. I don't know if you are like me, but the first time I heard this song playing via car radio, I had to pull over on the side of the road and listen to it--I was so moved by the music and words.
It seems there are many possible applications for how a person might interpret the message of this song.
One year I incorporated some of the song's themes in a Father's Day card for my Dad. As an Easter special music selection, "You Raise Me Up" was used today as an illustration of how the power of spiritual strength is available, and how it can lift a person up in a time of special need.
