A Joyful Resurrection Day Everyone!

Technically it is Easter, so Happy Easter friends and family. I say technically, because I'm actually still in my day before Easter, just up way tooo late. I've been running around like that famous headless chicken and I'm just settling in to blog for a moment to reward myself with a pinch of peace. We're getting ready for a houseful, and the anticipation is at the erupting point. Things are clean (for us) my toilet's still dirty, but there's hope to do it tomorrow. The baking is nigh to done. One lonely pie with about 10 minutes left, leaving just enough time for a pre-crash post. We've crossed off so many list items (though we keep adding to the list, what's up with that?) I was thinking about the joy that is ahead of us as I/we work. Ordinary chores are more meaningful when those you love are to be blessed with the result. My Jesus said that He was going to prepare a place for me, so that I could be with Him.

John 14 2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.”5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

I know that my preparations for tomorrow are as nothing compared to what Jesus is preparing for his family. As I think of what he was willing to suffer on the cross to make a way for me to come to Him, I know that these preparations he's now making are Glorious. Jesus conquered sin and death and now prepares a place for me. If you don't know the way, remember what Jesus told Thomas~ I am the way.
