Mercy

Building Healthy Families: “Learn to know Christ and him crucified. Learn to sing to him, and say, ‘Lord Jesus, you are my righteousness, I am your sin. You have taken upon yourself what is mine and given me what is yours. You have become what you were not so that I might become what I was not.” (Martin Luther) Joyful Easter Blessings to you and your family, from the staff and Board of Directors of Lutheran Family Service. Lutheran Family Service of Iowa 515-251-4900.

The Resurrection of our Lord – The resurrection of Jesus is God’s empty-tomb-echoing “YES” to all Christ did because of the Father’s love for human life. Prayer: Help me rejoice in Jesus’ resurrection and the value it gives to me and all humanity. Amen.
