As I get older I try to lengthen the religious Holydays to more than 24 hours...!!!
So it was with this Easter...From the Holy Week services to the traditional family food preparations to trying to fit in my personal prayer time and spiritual reading...there are many distractions that attempt to draw us away from the TRUTH OF EASTER...!!!
One way I have found that helps to keep me focused and ‘GOD CENTERED’ is SINGING, or if you are a ‘JOHNNY ONE NOTE’, at least listening to some spiritually uplifting music...
One of the books I have enjoyed reading and have recently finished is by Author Jason Evert entitled Saint John Paul The Great...and John Paul, who apparently didn’t appreciate his own ability to sing, when it was suggested that one who sings prays twice, responded with ‘...when I sing, it only counts as praying once’...
And one of the CD’s I have been listening to is GLORY DAY by David Haas & Friends, especially his rendition of THE LIGHTS OF THE CITY (sorry, I tried to find a link, but failed)...If you subscribe to one of the music subscription services I highly recommend you download this one, especially the LIVE VERSION...!!!
I keep the CD in my car, and even my kids ages 10 to 19 tend to sing along at times...Anything that leads us to THE LORD is good, and hopefully keeps THE LORD at the CENTER OF OUR LIVES...!!!
SO...In the Spirit of the Easter Season...I wish you all Easter Blessings...May The Peace Of The Risen Lord descend upon you and your loved ones and keep you in His Care...
HAVE A BLESSED AND GREAT WEEKEND...!!!
