The only side effect I seemed to have from my 2nd shot was achy muscles, and I didn’t sleep well. I was up every hour, and really just lazed in bed an extra hour – thus didn’t have time to walk. I worked both stores, though, and did fine; Joe and Bernie shared their Smiley Cookie with me! Then after lunch I got the mower out for the first cutting. I felt that in my muscles, I can say! Then I got the little lawn ornaments out and placed them around the yard. It always feels like officially spring when I do that! I also have quite a number of grape hyacinths blooming – more than I can remember having in recent years!

Today I will share Paul’s message from River Hill – Jesus the Resurrected King; Jesus is ALIVE! Jesus’ resurrection is a historical fact. He left His heavenly home to be born and die. You were made to be loved by God – that’s the reason for your life. While we were still sinners Christ died for us. Come to God as you are, messes and all. He’s not asking us to make a promise we can’t keep; He has made a promise to US. Jesus rose; he’s ALIVE. 1) There is LOVE in the resurrection – God sent His son for us. 2) Life in the resurrection – We will live with Him; the old is gone, the new is here! 3) Hope in the resurrection – because He lives, we have hope. New birth, living hope. 4) Power in the resurrection – by His power God raised Jesus and He will raise us also. Jesus lives inside of us – that’s Power!
