Governor Kay Ivey has released her annual Easter message.
In a video posted on Good Friday, Ivey spoke directly to the people of Alabama.
“My fellow Alabamians, just last week severe weather ripped through several counties in North Alabama and left a devastating path of destruction of homes, businesses and much more. More significantly, families and friends are missing loved ones, and we join them in their grief,” she began. “These tragedies are in addition to what has been an incredibly hard 13 months. And while we think there is a light at the end of the tunnel, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and maybe even discouraged as we head into what is a joyous season in the Christian faith.”
“As we celebrate Good Friday with Christians around the world, we’re reminded that while all can look dark and be discouraging, Sunday is coming,” the governor continued. “Scripture reminds us that while in this world there may be trouble, we can take heart for He has overcome the world.”
“Friends, Jesus’ death on the cross and his resurrection reminds us of the hope that we can find in Him. As you join others on Sunday in-person or at home through your electronic device, let us give thanks to the Lord for His countless blessings on our lives. Remember, He has risen! May God continue to bless each of you and the great state of Alabama,” Ivey concluded.
