EASTER

Easter, a joyous holiday.

Why?

We celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday.

It is also the season of Passover. A holiday celebrated by our Jewish friends.

This year Easter is the last Sunday in April.  It is the latest I ever remember it to occur.

We get to pick daffodils and forsythia this year.
The weather isn't all that warm but there isn't any snow on the ground as has happened in previous years.

The flowering trees and shrubs are beginning to bloom.
It is a glorious season of renewal and rebirth.

The kids all anxiously await a visit from Mr. Easter Bunny. They can't wait for the gaily decorated Easter baskets filled with candy and goodies.

Many have new outfits to wear to church for Easter morning services. Some may even have corsages to adorn them.

It seems Easter bonnets are a thing of the past, perhaps so are the corsages. What a shame, it was nice to see all the different hats.

I hope you will make an effort to attend services this Holy Week or on Easter Sunday.

It will give you a feeling of refreshment after the long, cold winter.

We will celebrate with our two sons who will be here for dinner. This year my husband's birthday is on Easter Sunday, another reason to celebrate.

I wish all of you a very Happy, Blessed Easter and or Passover.

We have much to be thankful. We still live in the greatest country on earth where we are yet free to openly attend church and worship a Risen Christ.

God Bless one and all.
