Happy Easter! What a glorious day to celebrate a glorious event--the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Because of Covid-19 quarantining, we were home, did not attend church, and did not enjoy the beautiful spirit that usually accompanies the messages and music of Easter. But at home, we did play beautiful music, we had a short church service with the sacrament and the reading of the resurrection story in the New Testament, and then had a tasty meal. Grandma Sue joined us, which was a treat as we haven't seen much of her due to quarantining, and we had a small egg hunt in the backyard. Brandt took funny pictures of everyone, and we managed a family picture with the camera propped up in the play house.
I rejoice in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. I rejoice that his resurrection brought about our future resurrection. I rejoice in his gospel, his teachings, and his example that show me the way back to our Father in Heaven. That first Easter morning was miraculous. All those that have followed have lifted the sorrowful believers out of the darkness of grief and allowed us all to celebrate Christ's triumph over the grave. I am grateful every Easter to know we will see our deceased loved ones again, and will rejoice in that day whenever it comes.
Brandt couldn't be bothered to go downstairs for a smaller basket,
so he just used one of the laundry baskets.
