"Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."
That's what my grandfather said preachers should use as a sermon text when they behold the congregation in their Easter finery!
The Easter phenomenon is about to take place. Like tulips finding out that there is life above the ground, many people suddenly discover that there is still a church in town and decide to make their Easter appearance.
Similar to Easter bunnies, they hop in, sniff the air a bit, and settle down for an hour. Then, with a twitch, they scuttle back out into the big open world.
Like all of you, we're glad to take the "hoppers" when they come. But how much better it would be if they could understand that all the carrots Satan dangles before their nose are nothing compared with the garden of God's grace available all the time. And He doesn't tease us with grace -- He gives it abundantly. That's certainly a better existence than dodging Mr. McGregor's pitch fork throughout life! (maybe you better re-read The Tale of Peter Rabbit......)

To love the pastor is the calling.
To share his life is the challenge.
To receive God's grace is the reward.

Thanks for the extra time you spend writing to encourage us pastor's wives. I appreciate it and I know you are busy as a writer, mother, pastor's wife, etc. Happy Easter
