Did you grieve?

I realize that Good Friday has come and gone all around the world . . . and that most everyone has awakened to the celebration of Christ's resurrection. But I came across this article on Friday, and then put it into practice as a family, and I just want to pass it along to you for future reference.

Bob Hyatt writes:

This Good Friday, allow the grief to seep deep down into your bones, into your bowels. Meditate on the wounds, the suffering, and the deep, deep love of Christ. Allow the tears to well up from the pit of your being, escape your eyes, and roll down your face. Let the sobs rock your body. Leave the Good Friday service in silence. Extend your mourning through the night and into Saturday. Leave the TV off. Wear black. Refuse to medicate, distract, or otherwise soothe yourself. Mourn. Grieve.

If you do this, as the sun rises on Sunday, you will finally know what Easter is all about.
