Easter

What a golorious wonderful time is Easter. It has always been my absolute favorite holiday. Easter is filled with glorious hope and promise. Because of the resurrection we can face each and every tomorrow. When Christ came out of the grave he destroyed forever the power of the devil. I love singing the songs at church and I love the wonderful story from the scripture. Years ago we always had a sunrise service and I loved that. I also love celebrating by wearing something new. I feel like I dress up for Jesus, or dress up for the big celebration party. My Easter secret is that I also love Easter baskets. I made myself feel better about them by always labeling them He Is Risen!! One year I got it into my head to make each girl, including Liz a fabric Easter basket. Time got short and I had too much to do. I remember staying up late the night before Easter finishing those baskets and crying because I was exhausted. My reward was a darling picture. Right now I don't know where the picture or the baskets are. Celebrate Jesus!!

I loved those Easter baskets too. I don't remember much from my childhood but I remember those. It was worth the time and tears mom! I also love that pictures. Next time Chaun comes he'll have to give you lesson on scanning pictures (I am pretty sure you have a scanner).
