Easter
2007
"Rejoice!"
Matthew 28:9
Laura and I send greetings
to all those celebrating the glorious Easter
holiday.
The Resurrection of Jesus
Christ is the most important event of the Christian faith. Easter morning
holds wonder and promise, and it is a chance for people everywhere to
gather with family and friends to celebrate the power of love conquering
death. In this season of renewal, we can rejoice in Christ's rising,
draw strength and inspiration from His example, and remember that in the end,
even death itself will be defeated.
This Easter we pray for all
our men and women in uniform and for the military families whose loved ones are
deployed on important missions in distant lands. We remember
especially those who have given their lives in freedom's
cause.
On this powerful day, let us
join together and give thanks to the Almighty for the glory of His
grace.
Happy Easter, and may God
bless you.
GEORGE W.
BUSH
