LET IT BE THIRDSDAY EVERY DAY

Thirdsday isn't a misprint.  It is a new word that fell out of the air as I sat to ponder what goes onto this screen that might encourage a despondent reader.

Thirdsday!

Thirdsday is that very famous day three when You-Know-Who broke the bonds of the grave.  There is nothing like it.  Nothing.  And the good news is that we have such a day in every one of our weeks.

You and me, with all of our angst, live for our best weekday; Thirdsday.  Better yet, every day of the week is Thirdsday.

We are called to follow Jesus which is neither theory nor is it silly imagination.  It is actual.  We take our hits in life as did he.  We find our moments of meaningful assistance to others as did he.  And we take steady, painful, and discouraging hits day in and day out if he is in us.

And just as Jesus arose on Thirdsday, we take up our crosses day by day knowing Thirdsday is our day!!!

Live like it!!!

Somebody ought to write a song about this.  Thirdsay isn't coming; it is here!!!
