New Life - by Bev Christensen



This month I heard some wonderful news. I am going to be a grandmother for the first time!! How excited my family is! My daughter, Kim, who lives in Honolulu is the happy mother to be. What a miracle it is to know that there is going to be another child of God here on this earth, a new life. How miraculous is that?

So, their journey (and ours) is just beginning. I wish she and her husband Ron lived closer to us so we could see that precious little one growing in her tummy. J The time will fly by quickly (although there are time when it will seem to drag by slowly) and they will be holding a brand new life in their hands. What a blessed miracle from our Heavenly Father. How God truly loves us.

Speaking of new life, celebrating Easter here at Redeemer was such a joyous season. Christ’s resurrection – so that we could have eternal life in Heaven. The Easter weekend felt like spring had finally arrived - flowers were coming back to life showing some beautiful colors, it was warm and sunny and we were able to greet many new faces to our church family. Hopefully, many will return to worship with us and come to know new life in Christ as they never have before. Hallelujah – that would be wonderful! New life surrounds me - - Psalm 95:1 says, “Come let us sing for Joy.”
