Right I didn't know that Jo Ann Miller is Jehovah's Witness. I have always
that Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons are members of cultic groups.

That is true about Jehova Witnesses about holidays. Addison Daryl
Washington didn't even believe in celebrating his own birthday because he
thought it was putting himself before God somehow.

Hello Christine,
You got that's right about Jehovah Witness ,because they don't
believe in holiday and if any Jehovah Witness have any other family members who
isn't theirs religion died they wouldn't go inside of theirs other family
members church such as baptist,methodist,reformed Episcopal and holiness
church . I have some friend who is Jehovah Witness try to get me to join their
church and I told my friend no thanks and whenever I have a funeral in Jehovah
Witness Church I don't even go inside the church I stay outside til the service
is over ,the same way Jehovah Witness members do others church they stay
outside and don't come inside the church. But I believe in God and he create
all things .

Yes Henrietta and Seany, Easter is just Another time to talk about
what Jesus did for us. If we didn't believe the Jesus gave himself up for us,
died on the cross at Calvary to bear our sins, die so we can have eternal life,
then we wouldn't celebrate Easter. I just Love Easter and Christmas, those are
two special times in the year where we get an opportunity to talk about Jesus
to those who are non-believers. Praise God for that.
I think the only people who don't celebrate Easter and Christmas
are the Jehovah's witnesses and they don't celebrate birthdays etc either, they
are thoroughly miserable people.
Chat soon, Love and blessings, from Christine.

Oh, isn't it wonderful to believe in Easter? When God's love is
within you there is nothing but happiness and Joy. That is why Jesus died for
us. So that we can be full of love and Joy and wear a smile and be happy.
Wonderful story, Thanks

Subject: Do you believe in Easter?
Edith Burns who lived in San Antonio, Texas was a wonderful
Christian. She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr.
Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient
was Edith Burns.
One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was
because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith
with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting
beside her.
Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way:
"Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would
explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.
Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head
nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood
pressure. Edith began by saying, "My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in
Easter?"
Beverly said, "Why yes I do."
Edith said, "Well, what do you believe about Easter?"
Beverly said, "Well, it's all about egg hunts, going to church,
and dressing up." Edith kept pressing her about the real meaning of Easter, and
finally led her to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Dr. Phillips said, "Beverly, don't call Edith into the office
quite yet. I believe there is another delivery taking place in the waiting room.
After being called back in the doctor's office, Edith sat down
and when she took a look at the doctor she said, "Dr. Will, why are you so sad?
Are you reading your Bible? Are you praying?"
Dr. Phillips said gently, "Edith, I'm the doctor and you're the
patient." With a heavy heart he said, "Your lab report came back and it says
you have cancer, and Edith, you're not going to live very long."
Edith said, "Why Will Phillips, shame on you. Why are you so
sad? Do you think God makes mistakes? You have just told me I'm going to see my
precious Lord Jesus, my husband, and my friends. You have just told me that I
am going to celebrate Easter forever, and here you are having difficulty giving
me my ticket!"
Dr. Phillips thought to himself, "What a magnificent woman this
Edith Burns is!"
Edith continued coming to Dr. Phillips. Christmas came and the
office was closed through January 3rd. On the day the office opened, Edith did
not show up. Later that afternoon, Edith called Dr. Phillips and said she would
have to be moving her story to the hospital and said, "Will, I'm very near
home, so would you make sure that they put women in here next to me in my room
who need to know about Easter."
Well, they did just that and women began to come in and share
that room with Edith. Many women were saved. Everybody on that floor from staff
to patients were so excited about Edith, that they started calling her Edith
Easter; that is everyone except Phyllis Cross, the head nurse.
Phyllis made it plain that she wanted nothing to do with Edith
because she was a "religious nut." She had been a nurse in an army hospital.
She had seen it all and heard it all. She was the original GI Jane. She had
been married three times, she was hard, cold, and did everything by the book.
One morning the two nurses who were to attend to Edith were
sick. Edith had the flu and Phyllis Cross had to go in and give her a shot.
When she walked in, Edith had a big smile on her face and said, "Phyllis, God
loves you and I love you, and I have been praying for you."
Phyllis Cross said, "Well, you can quit praying for me, it
won't work. I'm not interested."
Edith said, "Well, I will pray and I have asked God not to let
me go home until you come into the family."
Phyllis Cross said, "Then you will never die because that will
never happen," and curtly walked out of the room.
Every day Phyllis Cross would walk into the room and Edith
would say, "God loves you Phyllis and I love you, and I'm praying for you."
One day Phyllis Cross said she was literally drawn to Edith's
room like a magnet would draw iron. She sat down on the bed and Edith said,
"I'm so glad you have come, because God told me that today is your special day."
Phyllis Cross said, "Edith, you have asked everybody here the
question, "Do you believe in Easter but you have never asked me."
Edith said, "Phyllis, I wanted to many times, but God told me
to wait until you asked, and now that you have asked." Edith Burns took her
Bible and shared with Phyllis Cross the Easter Story of the death, burial and
resurrection of Jesus Christ. Edith said, "Phyllis, do you believe in Easter?
Do you believe that Jesus Christ is alive and that He wants to live in your
heart?"
Phyllis Cross said, "Oh I want to believe that with all of my
heart, and I do want Jesus in my life. Right there, Phyllis Cross prayed and
invited Jesus Christ into her heart. For the first time Phyllis Cross did not
walk out of a hospital room, she was carried out on the wings of angels.
Two days later, Phyllis Cross came in and Edith said, "Do you
know what day it is?" Phyllis Cross said, "Why Edith, it's Good Friday."
Edith said, "Oh, no, for you every day is Easter. Happy Easter
Phyllis!"
Two days later, on Easter Sunday, Phyllis Cross came into work,
did some of her duties and then went down to the flower shop and got some
Easter lilies because she wanted to go up to see Edith and give her some Easter
lilies and wish her a Happy Easter.
When she walked into Edith's room, Edith was in bed. That big
black Bible was on her lap. Her hands were in that Bible. There was a sweet
smile on her face. When Phyllis Cross went to pick up Edith's hand, she
realized Edith was dead. Her left hand was on John 14: "In my Father's house
are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and
receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also." Her right hand
was on Revelation 21:4,
"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, there shall
be no more death nor sorrow, nor crying; and there shall be no more pain, for
the former things have passed away."
Phyllis Cross took one look at that dead body, and then lifted
her face toward heaven, and with tears streaming down her cheeks, said, "Happy
Easter, Edith
- Happy Easter!"
Phyllis Cross left Edith's body, walked out of the room, and
over to a table where two student nurses were sitting. She said, "My name is
Phyllis Cross. Do you believe in Easter?"
