Warm Easter wishes for you and your family this Easter long weekend. May it be a time where you celebrate the new life all around you, family and friends. And of course a time when you take lots of photos.
Easter for me is so much more than the bunny and the eggs (tho those are fun!)
Easter is considered one of the holiest of all holidays on the Christian calendar. It is a time when we reflect upon and celebrate the death and resurrection of
Jesus Christ. Personally it is a time of renewal - a time to start fresh and go forward, much like seeing the new growth on trees, and the cherry blossoms in full bloom - Easter is a time to spread my wings a little and take up a new challenge. Not sure what that will be yet this year, but something is coming down the pipe and when I figure out what that is to be I will most assuredly let you in on it. In the meantime I am going to enjoy this Easter and be thankful - visit with family and enjoy! I pray it is a weekend where you are able to do the same.
Please take note that Remember Me is closed Easter Sunday to allow our staff to enjoy the holiday to the fullest.
Have a great holiday and do not eat too many treats.
Here are a few ideas if you want create a deeper meaning to your Easter celebrations.
Resurrection eggs - these can be purchased at a Christian bookstore or you can create your own. They are a set of 12 eggs each containing one symbol of Easter by the time each one has been opened the whole story has been told. My girls loved these as younger children.
Over night Easter Cookies - again these tell the story of Jesus death and resurrection. Note these need to be made on Saturday night for the full effect. Great family activity.
The Jelly Bean prayer - a great visual reminder for kids.
However you celebrate this Easter may your days be full of love, joy and peace.
And of course tons of photos. Now lets hope the sun comes out and graces us with it's presence.
Happy Easter
