Easter is over. Many of us had beautiful worship experiences. Worship leaders went all out to provide music and speaking designed to lift our spirits and emotions.
How was your worship? Meaningful? Do you feel charged up, reinvigorated with the remembrance of the foundation of the Christian faith–the resurrection of Jesus?
Now, you’re up. It’s Monday. You’re returning to work. To normal life. With its difficult people, challenging tasks, things left undone.
Now what?
How do we take the experience of the risen Lord and live today? Live in this moment?
Will your life be different today from Friday?
Paul reminded us that we have to go back to work. We can’t live our lives totally in worship and meditation. At some point we have to go out and work. Provide for bodily needs–food, shelter. Serve others. Witness our changed lives.
We return to work refreshed, renewed. We take with us a deeper understanding of peace, joy, perseverance. And the presence of God.

It is so hard to get back into the swing of things, and to take the celebration of Easter into the week. Thanks for this reminder.
