What2Say2Day? Here it is, Easter Monday, otherwise known as the Morning After. For a lot of us who plan, execute, and participate services and events for Holy Week, up to and including Easter, this is the day we can take a deep breath and rest - sort of.
I, for one, have to get to work and am actually looking forward to seeing the students I work with to hear their Easter stories and share some time with them. I will also tell my stories of the Easter festivities I shared with my church family; all of them filled with fun.
Somewhere in the telling of our Easter stories I would expect the story of God's love to also be shared. As for me, Easter doesn't end on the first Sunday following the full moon after the spring equinox but goes on for as many days as I can live it. The "end of the story" has Jesus reminding the disciples to go and tell what they have been taught and what they have seen. So, to me at least, this is what the moral of Easter is; go and tell.
Actually it's more like show and tell. Hopefully I can live my life in the way Jesus taught, and through my life, and my sharing, others will see what it means to be loved by God. A God whose love never dies.
So, go be Easter people and share the story of you with everyone you meet.
