Before I got past my biases of what Easter was about, it was just another holiday where I got to eat all my kids leftover chocolate. Now, I still dip into the chocolate, but I have a renewed way of looking at it. I now have a new language for Easter.
Before I knew Him
Easter was…
Allegory and ads
Baskets and bunnies
Cadbury and caramel
Dinners and doilies
Easter was…
Easily effortless
Frivolously fantastic
Garishly gilded
Heavily homogenized
Impotently Impish
Justifiably juvenile
Easter was…
Ken dolls and kicks
Lavender and lilacs
Mushy and meek
Nonsense and nibbling
Now that I’ve met Him
Easter is:
Overwhelmingly oxygenating
Powerfully praiseworthy
Quintessentially quest-worthy
Reliably restoring
Sensationally saving
Tremendously Triune
Easter is:
Underestimated and urgent
Victorious and voluminous
Wonderful and winning
‘X-hilarating and ‘x-citing
Yearnful and youth-giving
Zealot-led Zeitgeist
Easter is:
what God did for us on a cross
it is the renewal of ALL things
A to Z
Very clever.
Easter for me is usually confusing, in that I never know when it is.
That doesn’t matter though, as it is usually raining anyway.
Thanks for following my blog.
Best wishes, Pete.
