Growth

All of Holy Week, I had felt like a dry well, and when Pascha came, I didn't get a gushing spring, as I was hoping. But I did get a small stream passing through, bringing mellow peace and joy. I didn't get a deep profound revelation, but I did notice growth in the little things. Fresh growth.

Growth in the relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Between two sister-in-laws.

Growth between two cousins, who now rarely fight. Growth in little babies, on the trees, in the flowers. In a belly.

Life. Growth. If is everywhere and it comes from Him who created life in us. Who gives us our reason to live - and eternal life. It comes from Him who is alive again - and forever!

Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!
