Lying in bed this morning I was awakened to the annoying buzzing sounds coming from the alarm clock, immediately I thought about what the Easter holiday means to me. As I continued to lie still, I began to hear the birds chirping and singing noises coming from outside the window letting me know that springtime was in the air. Soon I would find the sun shining brightly through the glass panes of the patio door bringing warmth inside the kitchen. While reading my Easter greeting card, I caught a glimpse this was going to be a special day. Later at church I witnessed Easter traditions being celebrated in many different ways, and noticed small children proudly wearing their new outfits, and some even had their baskets and buckets filled with colored eggs, chocolate bunnies, and candy. It brought back wonderful memories of past Easters of dyeing and hiding eggs for my own children. Instead of cooking our usual holiday ham dinner, our family opted to go out to eat for lunch. Thankfully the restaurant was not overcrowded, and the meal was delicious. Unfortunately our whole family could not be together today, perhaps next year we can all be. This afternoon I walked outside on the deck and noticed how different the weather was compared to yesterday’s chilly snow flurries. It was so inspiring being outdoors as I stood soaking in the warm sunshine, taking in a deep breath the cool air felt refreshing. I saw bunches of daffodils were now in full bloom, the grass slowly becoming a brighter shade of green, and small buds are sprouting on trees, all this reminds me new life is beginning and I can’t wait to get back to cutting the grass and having barbecues again. With all the beauty that spring brings Eric and I have received the long-awaited, most awesome news that our other son and daughter-in-law are expecting their first baby in late October. This will indeed be a welcome blessing to our growing family. We are so excited over having another little one to spoil. Wow, we now expecting two grandbabies to be born within three months apart and could not be happier for our children and their families. I hope each of you have had a great holiday with your family, I know I have, and the best part of my Easter today is knowing that Christ is alive and lives deep within my heart. Yes, life sure is good and I'm looking forward to tomorrow. |
