The True Meaning

© Stephen Bess 2006


I hope that everyone has a safe and wonderful Easter Holiday. Don't forget the true meaning for this time of the year. I am reminded everytime I look into the sky. I think about it everytime I look at a flower or the moment a newborn smiles at me. I think about it when I see people showing each other love and respect.

I am also reminded when I observe a bird in tree. It seems at peace as it too beholds that which is greater than all of us. It is perched high on a branch as it thanks the creator for it's wings and for the breeze that it floats on. it thanks it's provider for the food that it was given and the chance to soar another day. Amen.

Happy Easter!!
