Days I long for

Today was the type of Saturday I long for more than I get. I had a meeting at church at 8, but came home around 10 to most of the house starting to wake up. We drank coffee & made a big brunch of pancakes, bacon & eggs. We all ate together & then did some spring cleaning around the house. We loaded up the van & went to Tim & Jung's soccer game (they tied) and LOVED being outdoors for a few hours. Isaac loved the pathway near the field & just ran back & forth most of the time. Back home to grill & cook a big meal and then most of the family went off to a movie. Isaac and I stayed home & played in the church parking lot for a while chasing a little blue ball, then had a bath & played a bit downstairs before bed.

So, here I sit, in a quiet and mostly clean house, very content and tired.

Off to bed I go!

The Resurrection & daily life

I will never forget a sermon I heard years ago by Pastor Dale VanDyke from Harvest OPC. He told the story of a radio talk show program where a woman called in with a question about her relationship. She said that her and her fiance had a few different religious views that bothered her. This woman believed in the actual resurrection of Jesus Christ, and her fiance did not.

The talk show host asked her "Does your belief in the resurrection, or his disbelief in it affect your daily life together?"

The woman responded saying, "Well, not really, I guess".

The talk show host concluded the call with hopes that things would be okay with their relationship because their beliefs didn't affect their daily life.

HOW SAD.

We celebrated Easter yesterday, and perhaps focused on Jesus life, death and resurrection a bit more over the last few weeks, but I hope we allow the resurrection of our Savior to affect our lives each and every day.
