Yes, it is Easter. Another successful one at that. Great food, fun and family. Once again, this year Bob's prayer made me tear up. He is just so sincere and I know his heart so I am always touched by his words and unspoken thoughts.
We had a campfire and it was actually warm enough to be out and observe some family croquet. Lori, Fran and I had a great discussion on religion. It confirmed my beliefs and it was nice to hear others had the same likemindedness.
Eric hunted eggs and Lori came up with a great option for the adults. Real eggs that were hollowed out and filled with confetti and then resealed. They were great for breaking and spraying confetti everywhere. I liked that tradition, I hope we keep it. At least we were outside so most of the confetti stayed outside, a little came inside in hair and on clothing, but that was fun too.
I always think of Easter as a new beginning. Just like Christ rising with a new body and looking forward to heaven and seeing his father again, I think it is a good reason to create our own new beginning, shed old thoughts, replace them with new shiny thoughts and optimism. Look forward to the new things in our future although we may not know what they are (like Christ did when he was going to heaven) we need to feel the same anticipation in what is ahead for us.
A new beginning, a fresh perspective, a new attitude.
Happy Easter and may your life bring you new beginnings or just renewed optimism.
