Because of Easter Life is not spent In hopeless search For reason in the sorrow. Because of Easter, Your name is called, Like Lazarus from the tomb With purpose for tomorrow.

The Word
Advent Day#25 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:14 Gaze with wonder at the Word made flesh, Consider the chaos that His birth did consist. The One who spoke Light …
