A blessed Easter to you! Christ is Risen! The victory is won!
The art of writing and sending cards seems to be slowly fading. There are fewer people sending Christmas greetings each year - or, so it would seem.
Have you ever sent Easter cards?
Getting Easter cards ready to go was very much on the mind of my mother-in-law, Millie Conrad, a week ago on Palm Sunday.
Millie was in the hospital, and we stopped to see her and take her the Sunday bulletin.
I explained that we enjoyed a beautiful Palm Sunday celebration. Her reply? "Oh, no, I only have a week to get my Easter cards done!"
Little did she, or we, know that by early Tuesday morning she would be rejoicing in the arms of her Savior whom she loved so much.
Her cards did not get finished or sent. However, the message of the resurrection has never been more real than when God called her from this life into to the next.
Those who are left to cherish the memories spent with her have the rock-solid assurance that the victory has been won.
Mille loved sharing her faith and love through greeting cards for birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays.
We, her family rejoice this year in the powerful message of the cross and Jesus' victory over the grave.
Happy Easter, Mille! Happy Easter to you as well. Christ has risen! He has risen, indeed!
