  We woke up to a damp, drizzly, cold Sunday morning. We had coffee and then headed out for the river that runs in the middle of Wichita. The weather wasn't ideal, but the spirit of the event couldn't have been better. The Riverside church of Christ was offering this service so along with a small group of people, we gathered at the river. We sang songs of triumph, praise and thanksgiving. Had communion and moments of silence.  The weather was chilly and damp but my heart was full. Even the ducks on the river added their sounds of praise!

Easter morning. Can't imagine how the heavens rejoiced. I wonder how the angels in amazement bellowed praise and honor for the risen Lord! The noise must have been thundering, especially to the ears of the enemy who had his short-lived moment of victory. Never again! What a thought! God's plan was accomplished and now He could be reunited with mankind because the price of sin had been paid. My sin. My debt. Paid in full for me. "How can I keep from singing His praise?" Yes, my heart was full on that riverbank.

The word for the day for me is "Power!"  It is my Father who brought back life from the grave. It is my Father who won the battle in the spiritual war. It is my Father who did everything He ever promised to do. Therefore, it is my Father who will rescue me from the darkness of this world into His marvelous light. It is my Father who will win my spiritual battle as I armor myself. It is my Father who has never lied or not carried through with everything He has promised me. My Father is powerful. That renews me today. His life of power is in me. What have I to fear? Thank you my Father!
