It’s Monday… the festivities of Easter have come and gone… we remembered together the significance of Christ’s resurrection… we sang Hallelujah’s and feasted our eyes upon majestic colors and easter flowers… our ears are still ringing with resurrection songs… but what difference will it make today?
This was the topic of the yesterday’s sermon… what does the resurrection really mean and how does it change the way I will live?
A Prayer for Easter Monday
let life spring forth
into busy tomorrow
bringing resurrection fragrance
to stacks of papers
books
technology
piled too high
on my desk
that waits
to lure me
into
pre-ordered tasks
of calculated
productivity
let the empty tomb
surprise
my waking
with mystery
on the first day
of my weekly
agenda
already chocked full
let spaciousness
and freedom
inspire
prayers
like the chubby bird
perched on a branch
bursting
with vibrant green buds
singing
