In honor of Good Friday today I wanted to post something to remind us of the meaning behind this season. I truly believe that Jesus is in all of us. That there is a part of His love, compassion and beauty in everyone. Sometimes people forget or they just don’t know Him yet, but buried down deep within them his beauty is hidden and waiting to be brought to the surface.

I often think that nowadays it is so easy to become self-involved. To get so caught up in our everyday tasks and what’s going on in OUR lives, that we easily forget to take the time to think about what might be going on in someone else’s. Perhaps that girl who you thought was so mean in school was only mean because her parent’s were going through a terrible divorce and she didn’t know how to coup. Maybe the old man who yells at you for so much as putting one toe in his yard, actually just feels very alone and doesn’t know how to reach out to someone new. It’s so easy to forget that other people have problems too.

The next time you catch yourself getting angry with someone or feeling hurt because someone was rude or mean to you, try to remember that we are all connected… that we all share a connection through Christ.

Here’s a wonderful video created by the amazing Jeremy Cowart, artist and photographer. If this doesn’t show a connection, I don’t know what does.

Have a wonderful and Happy Easter!
