A Passage Through Thorns

On the way to the vernal pond, I notice how we can't even approach it unless we pass through the thorns.  There's no way around them. 


These thorns tangle and form a crown above us. 


This Easter, I think of the passage Christ paves through that crown of thorns he wore at the crucifixion.  And today, that beautiful resurrection means I enter in, and I'm free. 

A paradise awaits, but I have to pass through the thorns.

    Our story within His story - our own journey of dyings & resurrections...

    We all want a path of flowers don't we?

    it doesn't take long to figure out, "it isn't so."

    So why do we flair so much with the reality?

I'd love to hear your thoughts about how you are living with flair today.
