Healthy Families: Alleluia! Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed! Alleluia! The joy of Jesus’ resurrection day isn’t limited to one day or church service! The season of Easter is 50 days long, though one could argue that this most wonderful celebration continues to be marked throughout the year. In the next several weeks of Eastertide, consider celebrating resurrection and new life by picking up fresh flowers or a small potted plant to share with a neighbor or homebound church member, enjoy time outside as God’s creation buds and blossoms, and keep up the traditional greeting of “He is risen! He is risen, indeed! Alleluia!” Lutheran Family Service www.LutheranFamilyService.org
