cross-bearer (pt 3)

Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
and all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for everyone,
and there's a cross for me.

hymn, words by Thomas Shepherd, music by George Allen

This past Sunday we bore the cross together. Here is how I know:

I have to write to tell you how awesome today's service was. The message was spot on and the music perfect. Thank you ... (I know it takes a village to put it all together) ... for presenting an Easter celebration that was both uplifting and pertinent.

Please pray for me to keep my commitment to have a closer relationship in following Christ and telling others about how wonderful God is in my life.
~ response card from Willie, who also rededicated his life

This is just a sampling of the feedback I've received over the past 2 days... there has been so much more.

God blessed us Sunday.
Easter is supposed to be us blessing HIM but our heavenly Father evidently couldn't help himself... and he blessed us anyway. He so loves to see his kids excited to worship, excited to serve, excited to be together. And what parent wouldn't want to bless his/her kids after being loved on? So how could he do anything less?

Our God is amazing.
Our family is blessed.
And our cross remains for there is still work to be done...
