Easter blessing

Since the choir didn’t sing for the 9 AM Easter service at Goodrich Memorial United Methodist Church, I volunteered to do a solo. One of the regular attendees has been asking me to sing “The Holy City,” so I decided to give it a try! 

I posted the video on Facebook & the responses were humbling, amazing. 

I posted in response to one: Thank you … God reminded me again during Lent & Holy Week the importance of sharing our gifts. And not comparing my gifts or opportunities to those of others. My part is to pray; act in faith; & trust God with the results.

Then I added a longer response to all, because I want to be clear it’s not about me: I’m saying thank you, graciously & humbly. But please know that all the glory goes to God. I never have any clue how it will go when I sing. I pray & do my best to respond in faith, & trust God whatever the outcome. Many of you have heard first-hand the times that the blessing came from being uplifted & supported & loved despite the bungled words & rhythms & pitches. 

I cannot even express how grateful I am when God is glorified through my simple willingness to trust Him, whatever the outcome. 

May we all be blessed by the love of our Risen Lord & Savior, today & always.

Happy Easter! Christ Is Risen!
