A lot of people have spent this weekend shopping for new Spring outfits and Easter basket fillers. I was out there, I know. I bet many were so busy and wrapped up in getting things ready for Easter that they did not even notice how the weekend unfolded in light of the resurrection.
Good Friday it was dark and rainy- I couldn’t help but imagine this must of been what is was like on the day they hung Jesus on the cross to die for our sins.
Saturday- It continued to rain. It was cold and gloomy. I think this is how it must of been the day after.
Then came Sunday- The rain was gone, the birds were singing and the sun came out. It was new day. HE IS RISEN.
My daughter spent the weekend at home and we did some shopping, and went out to lunch. We also dyed eggs.
NEVERMIND- GOOGLE HAS LOST MY PHOTO. This has happened on several of my post lately. I Cant”t seem to find a reason or a backup
Sunday, we got up early for Sunrise service at church. Afterwards, we enjoyed a big southern breakfast that my mom and dad prepared for the church.
Afterwards we came home and my daughter had an Easter basket waiting on her. My husband says shes to old for an Easter basket but this mom won’t give it up. Shes 31. It was filled with everything to top ice cream, along with ice creams spoons, cones, candy, a scoop and a bowl. It was a cute theme and she enjoyed it.
After a few hours, we headed back out to church for service.
Later this afternoon, we will go to my mom and dads for Easter dinner that my Sister in law has prepared. She does this every year and we look forward to it.
What are some of your Easter traditions?
Do you have a favor dish you make at Easter?
Do you do any special activities?
The dyed eggs are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe weather provided a good analogy of the death of Jesus and His resurrection.
We don't do anything special for Easter. Go to church just like any other Sunday.
There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of what Jesus did for me. What a Savior.
Happy Easter to you and your family.
HE is Risen.
