As a Christian,Easter has always held a special meaning to me. Christmas would be just another day if it were not for Easter. In the days preceding Easter this year, I took time to once again contemplate the events of Holy Week. Since becoming a parent, it has always amazed me of the capacity of God to send his Son down to earth knowing the outcome; knowing that His Son would be the ultimate sacrifice for all of humankind, including myself. How could he do that, for me?
This year, those thoughts….God’s immense and unconditional love would lead to the results of Good Friday with the joyous revelations of Easter Sunday that not only had my sins have been paid but that I also would rise from the dead….lead me to put down these words….

Remember me

I still don’t know how you could love me

Through all I have put you through

How I have turned away from you

Remember me

How could you carry that cross for me

As I am so undeserving

How can you it be that you gave all for me

Remember me

I am the one who has not always returned your love

I have not put you first in my life

But yet you love me still, how can that be

Remember me

How can you love me so

After all of the suffering I have put you through

I can never begin to grasp it all

Remember me

And when we see each other face to face

Will you still tell me you love me

Will you still welcome me home

Will you still remember me?

To all.....have a Blessed and Joyous Easter!
