| Easter Grass
============
You know what I'm talking about. It's the green stuff you fill
the kids Easter baskets with; then put in the candy and little
surprises for them to look for Easter morning.
One Easter morning I learned that God cares about all the
seemingly unimportant details of our everyday lives.
We often think of praying to God when our lives are turned
upside down by a tragedy or a problem that we will never be
able to fix. But God cares about the little things too. I mean
the really little things that somehow make everyday life really
special and really worth smiling about.
I was a single mom with five kids. Easter was one day away,
and I had yet to fill the Easter basket for my children. I only
had one that they could share. So I got the eggs, and some small
goodies, and then I remembered. Easter grass! I don't have
any! So I ran to the store on the Saturday before Easter, and
they are all out.
I run to another store, same thing. I went to every store that
I thought might have some, but no one did. I had waited too
long. I returned home feeling really bad. I wanted a special
basket so much for my children.
I said, "God, what am I going to do?" In my distress, and still
trying to figure out how to make their basket look grassy
there was a knock on the door. I answered it, and there stood
the neighbors boy, with a plate of Easter cookies.
He said, "My mom thought you might like some cookies." I told
him, "Thank you very much", and closed the door. My eyes almost
popped out of my head, and my eyes filled with tears. Not so
much because I had a plate of cookies, but because underneath
the cookies, on the plate, was a pile of green Easter grass!
I believe I saw God smile as I took that grass and excitedly put
it in my childrens basket, and filled it then with the others
treats I had put away.
I will never forget that moment!
Does God care about the little things? You bet He does!
God even cares about supplying Easter grass when there is none.
What is the Easter grass in your life?
I want to tell you, GOD CARES!!
About the big things,
the little things,
the important things,
the not so important things,
and yes...
He even cares about Easter grass!

| Matthew 24:6
=============
"And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars:
see that ye be not troubled:
for all these things must come to pass,
but the end is not yet."
Jesus (Matthew 24:6)
In the midst of it all. . .
. . .the sympathy, the terror, the anger, the confusion,
the hate, the blame, the fear, the uncertainty. . .
. . .on both sides.
See that YOU be NOT troubled,
for these things MUST come to pass.
We pray for your peace. . .
. . .in a world that so often knows it not.

| You know... I'm having a hard time with forgiveness... and thats tormenting me. On one hand... I'd like to be able to forgive a certain person because I know its what God wants me to do... but on the other hand Im having a hard time doing it because Im human and I do not easily want to let go because of all the hurt. Well... i shall try to forgive and hopefully forget because God's way is what counts. Hopefully He can get me through this. No, I know He can get me through this. Lord, Your servant is listening... please guide me in the right direction and help me make the right choice. | | |
