life after easter

at church on sunday morning, the preacher talked about how we are supposed to live after easter, so i thought that was a good title, although i payed little attention because there was something else going on. in the row in front of us, there were 5 little boys in baseball uniforms, and one of them had 3 little brothers along with his parents there. it may have been one of the most precious things i have ever seen. the family of 6 is pretty much my dream family... a bunch of boys and no little girls (but lets be honest, id be happy with any healthy children when the time comes). but seeing the love that family had for each other was so wonderful. after seeing the way they interacted and the love the older ones had for the younger ones, it was amazing. there are few things i enjoying seeing in the world more than pure unconditional love being acted upon, and this family was exuding it. if jesus were here today, i bet he would love like that family did, and it makes me want to strive to be better at loving.

sunday night at church though, i did happen to pay attention. it was nice to hear a message that can hit so close to home. talking about people who are lost can always be painful. there are always people in your life that are lost, whether it be a friend, family member, or yourself. after church i was able to see the pain that lost people can cause. its amazing to see how lost people can get who were once so in-tune with their faith and with God. its hard to see such a juxtaposition of life differences in the same day. it makes you think, but all i know is that love is something i want to be better at.
