Easter is approaching...April 12th will be here soon. All the stores have all their brightly colored plastic eggs ready in hopes people will stock up for their "Egg Hunt."
I would love to host an "Egg Hunt." It would be fun and all the neighboring children would come and join in.
What would be even better is if I was with my family and had all my second cousins looking for the eggs. I have lots of cousins and quite a few second cousins at this point and seeing their little eyes light up would make my heart very happy!
It will just have to wait until I can go visit them for Easter, or until they come out to see me...hopefully, they will wait until I have a family of my own too.
Easter also means that Easter lilies are in bloom. I love seeing them adorn the altar in honor of the Risen Jesus. What a beautiful offering! This flower, a lily, is pure and wonderful. No other such flower would give justice to this blessed event.
When I move into my new apartment, I want to start a new tradition of having fresh flowers by my picture of Our Lady and Jesus. It will be a special offering to them as well as a perfect way to decorate my home. It will brighten up any area with the right amount of "life."
Clearly, Easter is a celebration for Christians everywhere! We are rejoicing in the Risen King! He died on the cross and then rose from the dead.
Is there a greater love then that?!?!
This is the ultimate sacrifice...and therefore, the ultimate testimony of LOVE.
