Do You Love Springtime?

There's no doubt this is a spring season unlike any we've ever experienced or hope to ever experience again with many of us having to practice social distancing while staying isolated at home. I'm thankful for social media to stay in touch with friends and family and with you. I'm also thankful that even with the COVID-19 virus upending our lives, we can still see the beauty of spring in the flowers and the way the world is turning green.

It was sort of strange not going to church to celebrate Easter with my church family. But many church services were available to attend electronically. Worship can happen at home the same as in a church building, because in truth, the people are the church, not the building. We can rejoice because the tomb was empty on Resurrection Morning. "He is not here; for he is risen." Matthew 28:6 (NKJ)
