After being really sick all week, my friend Lisa called me to go hiking today. We went to Matthews-Winters Park near Red Rocks and it was a glorious spring day. We had a long talk overlooking this vista that put life into perspective again.
When we were driving, we saw a bunch of teenagers walking along the mountain road. I started tearing up when I realized they were carrying a huge wooden cross. This wonderful group of Christian youth were dedicating Good Friday to their Savior.
I have had many, many people post this beautiful Easter video and wanted to share in case you have not already taken a couple of minutes to watch it. It has received almost 2 million views in a week and for good reason.
My friend also posted this beautiful video of a former addict and repeat convict who shared his experiences with the Savior’s ability and willingness to forgive him again and again, even when he felt undeserving and the powerful message “I’m still here.”
“Each of us will have our own Fridays—those days when the universe itself seems shattered and the shards of our world lie littered about us in pieces. We all will experience those broken times when it seems we can never be put together again. We will all have our Fridays. But I testify to you in the name of the One who conquered death—Sunday will come. In the darkness of our sorrow, Sunday will come. No matter our desperation, no matter our grief, Sunday will come. In this life or the next, Sunday will come.”
