You're not going to be here. I love the season of spring. I love the newness of life. I love the crocus, daffodils and tulips just popping through the winter

hardened earth. I love the buds that magically appear on all the trees. I especially love the redbuds and the dogwoods that were the first to show in my home state of Missouri on our forested farm.

Most of all, though, I love the fact that all things are created and made to bear record of Jesus Christ,

things which are on the earth, and things which are in the earth, and things which are under the earth and things which are under the earth both above and

beneath. All things bear record of him. What an exciting thing to talk about this

week, the newness of life that comes and the celebration

of Easter, the atoning sacrifice, death, and resurrection of our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus

Christ.

Hello dear friends, we're Scott and Maureen Proctor and this is the Meridian magazine

Come Follow Me Podcast. This week is the special Easter lesson and is entitled,

He shall rise with healing in his wings.

We're so delighted to be with you all.

We truly have a need to be together, don't we?

It has been hard these past weeks to be quarantined and sequestered in our homes

and not have the normal social interactions that we're used to.

But haven't you found some upsides in all this as well?

Haven't you learned a few things and come to appreciate just a little more your family and

your dear friends?

And most of all, haven't you felt the blessings of the Lord and the comfort of the Spirit during these difficult times?

We certainly have here in our home, and we've spent a lot of time thinking about you,

our dear and loving listeners, are you doing okay?

Are you hanging in there?
