Intended

I had wanted to attend the sunrise Easter service today. But here I am at home. I hope the thought counts. I've got sinus going on and it's very cold this morning. Plus Dan's back is hurting from where Mr. Macho thought he could do some of the heavy moving of a credenza we took to Lindsey, by himself. He was wrong. So here we are.

I did open the front door to greet the sun. I held the door open and let the cold envelope me. I feel so bad. I feel bad about my sinus issue and bad about not going. I've never been to a sunrise service...this was as close as I'd ever come to doing so.

And then I think, all my excuses are so lame. They are non-existent when compared to what Jesus went through and did for me and everybody else. How can I complain? How can I not suffer through a little discomfort to make the effort to praise Him?

I will try to make it to the regular service later. I know that He will forgive me for not going this morning. That's what He does...no grudges, no scorecard. Just still loving me, as I am, excuses and all.

Spend a moment this Easter Day thinking about what the day is all about and why it's a big deal. It's the biggest and best deal of your lifetime.

UPDATE: I did get to attend the Worship service at church along with Hubster, my brother and his wife, and (Praise the Lord), Mom and Dad. Daddy even got up and gave a heart-felt thank you to the congregation and the pastor for all the support they've given over the past few months. It was absolutely wonderful to see them getting all the hugs!
