Jesus vs. Bunny

Words are not coming to me this morning. Easter blessings? Happy Easter? Remember the Lord? Don't let the candy make you sick?

I dunno.

The inability to express my heart concerning the events of Easter led me to quit trying to force it, and just do my blog rounds. Sandy has some optimistic, encouraging words. Her Easter post led me to Cecily's, a refreshing new-to-me blog. Cecily has the words I was looking for, and more. Her thoughtful entry says it all.

Amidst the good traditions I do hope you can make the time, in quietness and stillness, to sort through all the weird stuff that has become "Easter", to contemplate its deep crucial meaning for we humans who are lost without it.


(P.S. Caroline just wrote a new post about our trip to the beach. It's cute, and tells a funny thing that happened while there. You might enjoy it. I did. :-)

I have a hard time with holidays, though Christmas is the worst for me. We're celebrating Easter tonight at my sister-in-law's family's place. All my family will be there too, so for that I am grateful.

Holidays can be rough. I'm glad you get to spend it with all of your family. Have a terrific evening, WC!!

Thanks for the kinds words Cherie. We had a great food drive, it was incredible to watch the action. When people are good, they are so good. And so Easter sends out a warm message as the Easter bunny does too. You are a blessing!

Happy Easter.

Thanks, Pammie!! So far, so good. Got the whole gang here, plus Sarah, Ben's girlfriend. (She's so nice!) Easter greetings to your bunch from all of us!

I, too, was at a loss for appropriate words this Easter. My thoughts turned inward, examining my faith.
My meditations left me with a wonderful sense of peace and gratitude!

Cherie said...

You and me, tshs, the meditations were peace provoking for me, too. Glad that you had a good experience!
