I chose April 15 because my son was born on this day, fifty years ago. Giving birth to a new life is a metaphor for resurrection, but I didn't have a clue at twenty seven about the responsibility and how it would change my life forever. The great gift of age is to grow wise (if we are awake!) Birth and death and baptism and resurrection are all mysteries – archetypes in theme, so “As we were buried, therefore, with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.” Romans 6:4
Prayer: Lord, make me ever mindful that Your will for me is resurrection and help me to walk daily in that grace filled knowledge for the rest of my days on earth and into heaven.
