Easter Blessings

The resurrection gives my life meaning and direction and the opportunity to start over no matter what my circumstances. (Robert Flatt)


Easter says you you can put truth in a grave, but it won't stay there. (Clarence Hall)


Easter spells out beauty, the rare beauty of new life. (S. D. Gordon)


Easter is not a time for groping through dusty, musty tombs to disprove spontaneous generation or even to prove life eternal. It is a day to fan the ashes of dead hope, a day to banish doubts and seek the slopes where the sun is rising, to revel in the faith which transports us out of ourselves and the dead past into the vast and inviting unknown. (Author unknown)


For I remember it is Easter morn, and life and love and peace are all new born. (Alice Palmer)


Once more to new creation awake, and death gainsay, for death is swallowed up in life, and Christ is risen today! (George Lovejoy)


Let the resurrection joy lift us from loneliness and weakness and despair to strength and beauty and happiness. (Floyd Tomkins)


And He departed from our sight that we might return to our heart, and there find Him. For He departed, and behold, He is here. (St. Augustine)


Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in spring time. (Martin Luther)


I think of the garden after the rain; and hope to my heart comes singing, at morn the cherry blooms will be white, and the Easter bells be ringing! (Edna Proctor)
