EASTER SUNDAY MARKS a day of celebration among Christians as we rejoice in the resurrection of Jesus and the promise of eternal life.
It is a day of joyful song, of prayerful gratitude, of alleluias.
It is a day, too, to gather with family over brunch or a ham dinner. It is a day to find Easter baskets and hidden eggs.
It is a day of memories made and memories remembered. It is a day of missing those loved ones no longer with us, but loving on those who are near or far.
It is a day when the sun rises on a struggling world, where hope is needed now more than ever.
Have a blessed and joy-filled Easter, dear friends!

Happy Easter!
Thank you, Michael. I hope yours was joyful.
Thank you for this hopeful and beautiful Easter post, Audrey. That stained glass window is absolutely stunning. May you and your loved ones all have a loving and happy Easter –
I’m trying to be hopeful, which isn’t always easy. The pastor’s sermon at my eldest daughter’s church was hope-focused, reminding us that we should expect the unexpected (in a positive way) even as we consider worst case scenarios. The music also uplifted me as Easter songs always do. I hope your Easter was wonderful in every way.
it was really nice, relaxing, good food, family , a beautiful day –
That’s wonderful to hear.
I hope you found hope on your Easter Day!
Easter always brings hope. 🙂
