Special thanks to Terry Chapman for this inspiring guest essay!
Easter should be celebrated everyday as a rebirth of hope and gratitude for all God's blessings. We caregivers need assurance that our caring brings relief to those we care for and we need it everyday and every long night of our soul!
We are always pilgrims, seeking a better pathway along life's twisting roads and byways. Each of us has many mundane and tedious days and also an
occasional mountaintop experience. Cherish the views from on high!
Our overarching task on Earth is to identify our unique talents and then use them in ministries lay or ordained, in helping others!
This Easter morning, in the blessed quiet of your home, return to the quiet your soul requires and breathe deeply as you sense the sheer wonder and awe that is in all our beings and lives.
From a baby's cry to the rise of a trout to a tiny fly to the love you receive and the love you give. And from your adventures large and small-your learnings about what truly matters and what is simply dross that will blow away forever.
Strive to live each day as a caregiver as fully as you are capable of and always give thanks for in giving you receive and in dreaming of a collective better life, we are all moving toward Heaven, first on Earth and then in Heaven.
