It is Good Friday. As a young child I could not fully understand why this Friday was Good Friday since Christ was crucified on this day. A few Easters passed before I fully grasped this concept. It is a stark contrast indeed.

With loving hands and hearts and determination much can be done. Last night we fed close to 150 people at our Maundy Thursday Seder Meal. It was a Passover meal with each food symbolic of steps in the journey of the Jewish people. We closed with the Last Supper and communion. There was a group of young children who received their first communion. It was a beautiful and inspirational evening of rich faith, beautiful music and community.

I am grateful for the peace that my faith in Easter gives me. I appreciate noticing the positive or good in each day without drawing unnecessary attention to what is the negative.

Whoever you are, you are human. Wherever you are, you live in the world, which is just waiting for you to notice the holiness in it. ~Barbara Brown Taylor
