Hope you've all had a lovely Easter weekend! I must admit I was surprised to discover #holyweek on Twitter, lots and lots of people over the Easter periood were tweeting about the masses they had experienced and what they doing on the holy days.
I suppose it gave me hope and really cheered me up to know that people are free to express their love for our Christ without feeling like it's not a hot topic for the likes of social networks.
I haven't quite finished reading 'Why Go to Church?' but I've just finished reading a chapter that talks about the disappointment the disciples felt when Jesus snuffed it and disappeared on them. There's this great joyous feeling when you know that God defeated everything when he died for us and rose again. There's a real power in knowing just how much God loves us and how powerful He is. But what do you do on Easter Monday when that excitement has passed (go and see Limitless in the cinema, maybe) and you realise you've got bills to pay an essay to write and shopping to do?
We must find a way to relive that joy in our everyday lives to keep us alive in God's spirit until Lent starts again. But how do we do that? When the 'real world' just rolls on by, how do we roll with it and keep Christ close to our hearts?
If anyone has any ideas on how we can do this, please share.
Looking forward to leftover Sunday Roast,
Dani =) x
