We Celebrate The One

We celebrate the One
Who lived -
the Lord Who freely gave
His love.
We celebrate the One
Who died
to free us,
release us
& receive us.

Both now -
when we walk here

on trembling earth
and later -
when we walk with Him
at Home....

How did we come to this Holy Place?
This needed Place?
This precious Place?
How did we come
to await the chance
to one day
see His eyes,
His smile,
His lovely face?

We celebrate the One
Who invited
Who called,
Who claimed
and Who welcomed us in.
We celebrate the Love
Who embraces completely
Whose mercies & comforts
to us
are ever new
and are never finished.

When Easter flowers bloom
and leaves emerge
green, supple and new,
Lord, help us to ever
with thankful recall
remember the One -
The Holy One -
The Needed One -
The Precious One -
Who Gave His Life
for the greatest & dearest
celebration of all.


Happy Easter to the Pamela's Girls!

With love,

Auntie J.
