This is a day to celebrate new life, to open our ears to the sounds of God’s world, to open our eyes to the beauty of creation.
We rejoice in God’s handiwork: sky and water, landscapes and living things, God’s children all around us.
This is a day of gladness and joy; we remember Jesus, who welcomed all people and recognized the value of each one.
We are glad for Jesus, our helper and our friend.Jesus is alive! His Spirit lives in us, helping us when we are afraid or
lonely or ashamed or sad.Jesus shows us how much God loves us, and lets us know our
failures are forgiven.Be glad today. Let us rejoice together. Life is good. We are accepted
and loved.

Your life is a Sacred Journey – and it is about change,
growth, discovery, movement, transformation,
continuously expanding your vision of what is possible,
stretching your soul, learning to see clearly & deeply,
listening to your intuition, taking courageous risks, embracing
challenges at every step along the way.
You are on the path – exactly where
you’re meant to be right now...and from here,
you can only go forward, shaping your life story
into a magnificent tale of triumph, of healing, of courage,
beauty, wisdom, power, dignity & love.
