Empty Shell

When I saw these shells, it made me realize that as I get older, my body is just becoming more and more of an empty shell.  While once I was pleased to be in my body, I would have to say that I would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.  I love my life and my family and my friends and SO much more, but how much more I love the thought of being with my Savior! 

We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

Empty

HE IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN INDEED!!!

I cannot imagine what Mary and others thought as they saw the empty tomb. In their grief they wondered where their Lord was. But, did they consider that He was in fact fulfilling all that He told them would happen? Did they understand any of it?

No matter! Just like this empty Easter Egg, the tomb was empty! Praise the LORD!

Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. - John 20:1
