This Day

I awake to emptiness..........but not a hopeless, black emptiness but rather a life-giving emptiness, an emptiness which is symbolic of a world, a place of no sin, no death.

Lord, let me be a reflection of that emptiness today - empty me of an agenda, of selfish desires, of impatience, of anger and fill me with LIFE.

FILL ME, LORD.  

FILL ME WITH THE THINGS OF YOU, LORD.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this day.

May my expectations begin and end at the tomb -- nothing else matters on such a day.

Perfection is not to be found in a dress, a dish at the Easter table or a tradition but in YOU, LORD.

Let my quest for perfection begin and end at the tomb..................always.

PRAISE THE LORD.  HE IS RISEN!
