Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; *
his mercy endures for ever. Psalm 118:1
Living in gratitude is good for our health. This Sunday, we especially live in gratitude. After the quiet solitude of six week so Lent and this last week of sorrow and horror, we come into deep joy.
Sometimes are really tough. We cannot always see that there is a way out or a time when we will feel joy again. But the Psalmist reminds us that God is good and God is forever. God has mercy that lasts not only for our time, but also for those who come after us.
That is good news!
I hope you can join us for this celebration, either in person or on Zoom. If you are not available to do so, please send your love and prayers.
Love,
Rebecca+
