It is good to have the Gloria back.
It is good to have our Alleluia back.
It good to be free of Lent.
It is good to have journeyed well, to have sacrificed much, to have fasted intently, and to have prayed often.
It is good to be loved so much that His sacrifice is enough. Once. For all.
It is good that Springtime is finally here.
It is good that Easter dresses and shirts and ties fit this year, even if daddy’s shirt is a bit tight.
It is good that we celebrate good health.
It is good to be with family.
It is good that we live and work and pray in a country where we fear little when it comes to where we worship and how we worship. And though there is violence, it pales in comparison to the violence elsewhere.
It is good to hold your children close.
It is good to be forgiven. Redeemed. Saved. Blessed.
It is good.
It is very good.
We are, after all, the people of Easter.
And “Alleluia” is our song.
