Hello My fellow Compassion Friends. It’s the time of year we send our Easter letters out to our kids. To Christians Easter is such a big holiday. I’m so thankful to the Lord for all He has done in our lives. Here is my Easter letter for this year. Feel free to use to copy or modify for your kiddos.God bless and be inspired!have a blessed Easter. May you feel Gods love shine up you today.
Happy Easter our dear friends. This time of year is the most important time of the year for us as Christians. Easter is the day that we celebrate Christs resurrection. I have been reflecting on one of my favorite songs by a group named Petra called Judas kiss. It’s a powerful song and we pray that speaks to you.
I wonder how it makes you feel When the prodigal won't come home I wonder how it makes you feel When he'd rather be on his own I wonder what it's like for you When a lamb has gone astray I wonder what it's like for you When your children disobey It must be like another Thorn struck in your brow It must be like another Close friend's broken vow It must be like another Nail right through your wrist It must be just like Just like Judas' kiss I wonder how it makes you feel When no one seeks your face I wonder how it makes you feel When they give up in the race I wonder what it's like for you When they willingly disobey I wonder what it's like for you When they willingly walk away It must be like another Thorn struck in your brow It must be like another Close friend's broken vow It must be like another Nail right through your wrist It must be just like Just like Judas' kiss.
This song always speaks to my heart. As Christ hung on the cross between two thieves I wonder how He felt. How much God loves us to send His son to die for us. Christs sacrifice lead to our salvation. every time we wonder away God is always waiting with arms open wide to draw us close again. We pray as you head into this Easter season you remember how much God loves you. He holds your life in his hands. As I read the song lyrics, I am reminded that each step we take we should be reaching out to God. Christs sacrifice on the cross has made a bridge to God for us. He lived 33 years on this earth. He celebrated, mourned, cried, laughed and had joy. Easter is a day of celebration because Christ arose from the grave and blessed us with life. We challenge you to take time each day to read the Bible and pray. Our prayer is you would Trust in Jesus every day.
We love you so very much.
God bless, mark and Laura
