Easter Blessings (+Music) and “Faith,” a Poem by Bette A. Stevens

Aside

Easter Blessings (Poster, pPoem & Scripture

Faith

Take all of your worries and all of your fears
Cast them upon Jesus who’s waiting, He cares
He came down from glory to save you and me
His brothers and sisters who yearn to be free

He proved with his life that His calling is true
We trust that He cares about all we go through
His love it surpasses, His blessings abound
His faithfulness throughout creation resounds

In Scriptures we find Him, His words and His deeds
Imploring each brother and sister, He pleads
Surrender your worries and all of your fears
I’m here to walk with you in laughter, in tears

We’ll dance through the triumphs and trials together
Good plans will prevail, no matter the weather
God’s love is as sure as the sun, stars and moon
Eternity’s waiting, there’s plenty of room

~Bette A. Stevens, Maine author

John 3:16-17 New International Version (NIV)

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Happy Easter!

    Way to be unapologetically Christian!

    I love Easter. I’m still riding high on our vigil mass service. I’ve been singing in the church choir, and it’s been wonderful. So glad you enjoyed the very special day as well. We had an egg hunt on Sunday morning, too, with grandkids running around and finding eggs. So needed after all the Covid argy-bargy. I’m really hoping we can get back to real life again now. : )

      I’m with you, Cathleen! Our grands are grown and our great-grands live in FL. How wonderful we can still watch them grow and share special moments with them thanks to modern technology. Feeling blessed at Easter and every day… Blessings and love to you and yours! ❤ xo
