INVITATIONS

                                              WE LOVE RECEIVING INVITATIONS.

Prayer means we have been invited into a relationship with someone who hears us in the silence of our needs,  It means some one if listening and hears our anger and our despair; and who rejoices in our happiness.  Faith has brought me a lot of happiness and security within myself.  I am forgiven,

Unconditional love is very healing.

The messageof Easter.

The story of the crucifixtion and death of Jesus is very real and full of powerful emotions.
sHis mother watching him die leaning on the arm of his disciple.  The disciples
afraid   for their own lives running away and hiding.

The woman who comes to the tomb early in the morning, with tearful eyes find him gone.  She does not recognize him when he comes to her and she thinks he is the gardener.  He speaks her name and she is full of wonderful joy.

I believe that miracles do happen more often than we realize.

Faith can move mountains or even a huge gigantic stone.  Well that probably happened with the help of the angels.

We all know dad loves to tell stories, some of them humorous and some about his adventures.

He decided to tell the story of our past painful experiences using different names.  This was a very difficult task for him, very emotionally draining.  Some of the family has read it and responded and his hope is that all the family at some time will be able to read it.

The power of the Resurrection story has the power to redeem us from our sinful pasts and our anxieties for the future.  Sin is just missing the mark because we are all human.

We are invited to have a relationship with Jesus whose love and forgiveness is available for all.
