CrACks

It may look beautiful and perfect
But that's only because you don't see the cracks
Be kind to each other

We live in a Good Friday World
A World with cracks
A World with heart break and difficulty

We are Easter Sunday People
Filled with hope, faith, and a God that loves us
A Big God
A God that stands by us in times of hardship

We all have cracks in our lives
Among my family and friends today:
A Widower
An ovarian cancer survivor
A mother of three adopted children
A beautiful young deaf woman
A liver transplant recipient
A former bulimic
A single mother
Three teenagers
Four elementary students
Two young adult twenty somethings
Legal issues
Money stresses
Friendship concerns
Broken hearts

We are all trying to find our way in life
God is with us on our journey
That journey is not always easy
But God does not let us travel alone

We were blessed today to be together
To hug, hold hands, talk 
To have great weather 
To enjoy terrific food
To laugh 
To pray
To have an Easter Egg Hunt

Be kind to one another
You can't see the cracks
But the cracks are there
I have them
You have them
