Parents and remind ourselves that we are a phenomenal movement. We are the most successful movement, while the founder is still alive. I’m hoping you’ll invite me to your 90th birthday party. I would like to see you bogeying with the moves that my children were so gung-ho about when they saw their grandfather. I’m hoping that as we move forward and pass on into the next life, we can reap the rewards of a life well lived, that we can be with our ancestors and they can be happy for us, that we can be with our brother Jesus up in heaven and we can be happy for him. Brothers and sisters, let’s open up our eyes on this Easter morning. I would like to leave you with a quote from a famous British novelist, Graham Greene. He is remembered as saying, “The door is always open for the future to come in.” The door is open on this Easter Sunday morning, brothers and sisters, and the future is what we make it. So I’m hoping that we can make it a loving one, a respectful one, and a celebrating one. So welcome to Lovin’ Life Ministries, and see you next week.
