That One Time....... A long Time Ago

I am sitting here in the shadow of one of the first sweet, summer storms.  The green lusciousness of a Georgia spring is cloaked in velvety grey, discussing sleep with the rumbling thunder, who will sing her a lullaby in deep, rolling tones.

5 April..... Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday.  In our family this Sunday has never been hugely celebrated in the usual fashion that most engage in.  However, it has somehow always been special.  I've always known that Easter Sunday is the celebration of Jesus rising from the grave, but as a child it also held a vague excitement, a feeling of confusion and unclear cheer. I knew that other kids were doing Easter Egg hunts and somehow the excitement of millions of children seeped into the sunshine of Easter Sunday, lending an extra glow to the bright colors, and cheerful smiles.  I am coming to be able to join in, more fully, the joy of this day as I see more clearly the sacrifice and Victory of the Risen King. Now I am realizing that it is not only the excitement of egg hunting children, but the joy each of God's children has in the Victorious Savior that is filling the sunshine with energy and making the colors more vibrant.

Happy Easter!! And Blessings to you from Our Risen Savior!
