Good Monday Morning! What a fabulous day we had celebrating the resurrection this weekend! I was reminded this morning as I poured my coffee that the risen Christ was there. The practical living in the resurrection begins today.

“What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin – because anyone who has died has been freed from sin” (Romans 6:1-7).

The resurrected Lord longs to be involved in your ordinary life today. He wants to teach you and talk to you as you walk along the road. He wants to love you and help you during an ordinary meal. He wants to empower you and use you at work and at school. Recognize His hand at work in your life this week even in the little things and respond to Him in freedom. Blessings!
