We are resurrected when…

• We reach out to say, “I love you.”
• We really let something hurtful go, and we don’t pick it up again.
• We give freely without hope of recompense. We do small things with love.
• We wake up to the now, and see the beauty that is all around us.
• We are grateful for a hot cup of coffee or sunlight bouncing on a vase of flowers.
• We ignore social standings and bank accounts in others.
• We dare to use our gifts.
• We give and receive loving or kind touch.
• We welcome the stranger.
