Happy Easter on Snippet Sunday

A couple years back, I wrote an edgy inspirational novel entitled Flicker. On this special Snippet Sunday, as some of us celebrate the renewal of life freely given through the ultimate sacrifice, I felt it only right to share a few lines from that story.

May you all have a blessed Easter filled with love, peace and joy.

A lot can happen in two weeks. Parents can die and be buried, promises made and broken. Hearts can be shattered, lives destroyed. A young man can suffer the iniquities of an entire civilization and be resurrected. Grace can be restored.

If I’m certain of one thing, children are full of hope. Their faith doesn’t appear only during moments of weakness. No seconds tick by when a child isn’t imagining the impossible, dreaming of happiness, expecting joy. They face life with such optimism. Maybe because they’re so fresh from heaven, belief is a given.

 

Not until life gets a hold of a person does all that fade.
