Thoughts_Easter2012

I looked up at the stars one night and saw the twinkling lights.

The moon in all its splendor was lighting up the night.

I thought how God had blest us at the ending of the day,

by giving us a time to rest amid His light display.

I saw the sun's first morning rays come heralding the morn.

The sky was filled with radiant light that kept the people warm.

I thought how God had blest us at the starting of the day,

by giving us His blessed light to guide us in His way.

I saw the storm come raging through and heard the thunder roar.

The winds blew strong, the rain fell hard, as never had before.

I thought how God had blest us as the storm began to pass

by keeping us secure and safe as long as it might last.

I heard about the blessed birth and saw the family there.

The gifts of kings and angel songs and shepherds bent in prayer.

I thought how God had blest us in this cold December night,

by sending us the precious gift; His Son, now in our sight.

I read about the tragic death; the agony and pain.

The son of God nailed to a cross would ne'er be seen again.

I thought how God had blest us as His Son rose from the tomb,

by wiping out the sins of man, He put an end to gloom.

As Easter dawns, we should recall the blessings we receive;

He was born; He died; He rose; Yes, Lord, we believe!

I think how God has blest us as we celebrate today.

Praise His name! God is good! Happy Easter Day!
