April 20, 2025 Easter Sunday
I'd Stay in the Garden with Him
Our garden is our sanctuary, a place we would like to remain. Each moment is an opportunity to practice mindfulness, to be aware of our thoughts and feelings. Light a candle, say a prayer, or simply hold a heartfelt intention in your mind; let go of all worries and distractions, and find peace in the simplicity of each day.
Like the white roses found within our garden, we can be reminded of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He gives us hope, with new beginnings. He walks with us; he cleanses our spirit, giving to us renewal and healing. We continue down the path, celebrating the resurrection, forgiveness and the promise of eternal life.
Everything is alive. There’s a new whisper in the air, warmth in the breeze, and a vibration all around us. - Erica Matechuk
Beauty starts from within to become the breathtaking place where we can be comforted and reside in God’s tangible promises of endless love. - Dannette Lynn
Our Lord has Risen
