“We focus on Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday, but we forget to pause in the stillness of the days between. Find time today to be present in that place of waiting. There is treasure to be found in the sacred peace that comes as you breathe in that place of quiet surrender. Don’t rush through the space called “Between.”
― Katherine J Walden
The days between Good Friday and Easter are usually filled with preparations
for the big celebration meal,
church (if it’s open),
when I was a child, the new outfits and shiny shoes,
coloring eggs,
making the bunny cake.
What if….
the days between were spent on reflection
on what happened the day before
like the disciples and followers that first day after.
The Day After a Loved One Dies
Numbness descends
shock
fear
wondering if it really happened
tears flow freely
and when not flowing are right below the surface
sleep doesn’t come.
They question, “Is He really gone?”
Scripture Says
they didn’t know about the prophecy of the resurrection
that on the third day He would rise from the dead.
Were probably planning their escape from Jerusalem
if they could think straight, that is.
They Were Mourning
the death of their Messiah and friend
the man they followed
believed in
left everything for
They felt betrayed.
The Days Between
Good Friday and the Resurrection
were a time of
shock
fear
surrender
and mourning.
A Time of Reflection…

Lisa, this post captures a moment in time we, as Christians, probably overlook. I like the use of the word “between.”

I am guilty of overlooking the “between” as well… until now. But I will not overlook it again. Blessings to you and yours. XO
