Watching the Wilted Lily

Date: April 9, 2023

Another Easter has come and gone.

Dinner leftovers are in the frig.

I’ve been inspired by your memes and gifs,

admired your adorable family pictures,

eaten more chocolate than I should have,

watched the Easter lily start to wilt,

and taken a nap after a busy church weekend where we repeatedly, collectively, enthusiastically proclaimed, “Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed!”

But now, on Monday, has anything changed? Have *we* changed? Has this focused reminder of the Resurrection actually led to any new direction or resolve or commitment?

Remembering the Resurrection has power to transform us and to transform our communities. Let’s not drift back into life the way it was last week, but instead look for new ways to demonstrate Christ’s victory over sin and death. It’s never too late for that, you know…

… even after Easter has come and gone.
