Feelin Good!

I'm sure I've told you, Easter is my favorite day of the year- by far. The meaning of Easter is so important to me- Jesus is risen! means I will too. I'm saved for an eternity and that's a perfect length of time as far as I'm concerned.

I love sunrise services, Easter breakfast and hearing 'Jesus Christ is Risen Today'. I love bright Easter clothes and the message of hope. I love family and friends gathering to worship. I love big Easter meals. All these things taken together form the best day of the year.

Last year I took Cale to Philadelphia to see a blues guitarist and singer Joe Bonamassa. If you like your blues mixed with a little rock then Joe is worth checkin out. He wrote a song that I'm sure didn't have an Easter intent but it perfectly describes how I feel on Easter. Check out a couple of the verses:

Birds flying high , you know how i feel
Sun in the sky , you know how i feel
Breeze drifting on by , and you know how i feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
And i'm feelin' good


Stars when you shine , you know how i feel
Scent of a pine , you know know how i feel
Oh freedom is mine , and i know how i feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life for me
And i'm feelin' good
Yes i'm feelin' good oh oh
Mmmmmmm Mmmmmm
And i'm feelin' good

A new dawn on that first Easter day means a new life for me- an eternal one. And especially on Easter morning, that has me feelin good! Yes I'm feelin good!

I hope you realize the 'hope', the sure confidence of salvation, is yours also thanks to Jesus' work on that first Easter morning. Its a new dawn, its a new day for you as well. I hope this morning you're feelin good! You should you know. The creator of the universe loves you- yes you- with an everlasting love.

So have a great Easter morning, a great Easter day. He is Risen! He is Risen indeed- and I'm feelin good!

Easter Blessings,
