Easter tale-Dave

[Guest guest]

Dave, thank you so much for your observations...you

really made me feel good.

 

I like your observations about the Easter time of

year, too...like you said, it's so inspirational to

witness the rebirth of the earth as everything turns

green and flowers start to bloom everywhere. It's

more meaningful to me, too, even raised in the

Christian tradition, to celebrate and thank God for

the cycle of rebirth that he instilled in all that he

created....and Christ's ressurection is a metaphor for

that.

 

Happy Spring to you, Dave!
