He is risen!

In church this morning, I was struck by how much more powerful promises of rebirth and the story of Jesus's resurection are now that I have a child. Understanding the forgiveness of sins and the new life we have been promised is incredibly significant when these gifts are offered not only for oneself but also to the most precious thing in one's life. What a comfort to know that we really can store up treasures on Earth and that the work we do bringing up our children in God's love will be rewarded when we meet them in Heaven.
