In this Easter season new life is springing forth, and new fragrances will fill the air. Our ascended Lord is a true representation of the Easter season who reminds us that although we may go through some dark channels in life, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. The saving strength of our Lord reminds us to never give up even when the days may appear grim. Risen Savior, today we confess that every time we remember how you suffered on the cross for us, we will cherish our faith in you, and we will not hesitate to take a bow in reverence to your holy name. Amen
