Easter 2018

I am so looking forward to Easter - and yet I can hardly believe it is here.  It has been a year of great change for all of us, and great challenges. {and yet we have managed to make it to April!}  Although we do not plan to attend church, we will take time on Sunday to count all of our blessings and be humbled in their grace.  For one day, we will delight in each others' company, spending our time laughing and loving.  Then Monday will dawn, and we will then carry on about the business of life.  
That's just the way of Easter, no?

"The joyful news that He is risen does not change the contemporary world.  Still before us lie work, discipline, sacrifice.  But the fact of Easter gives us the spiritual power to do the work, accept the discipline, and make the sacrifice."  ~Henry Knox Sherrill
