This Easter weekend marked some firsts for families in over a year.
What were you able to do this Easter that you were unable to do last year?
Some words that come to mind as I reflect on Holy Week and Easter in the midst of navigating this stage of the pandemic... Savor... Weep... Rejoice...Remember...Mourn...Hope...Joy.
We were finally able to spend quality time with family that we have seen in small spurts in small groups mostly outdoors in the past year.
Sharing the joy of Easter and the little things with Will and my nephews was a gift this year. Worshipping together at Drive In Service was a gift this year. Easter lunch at home with family was a gift this year.
What are some ways you savored, wept, rejoiced, remembered, mourned, hoped or experienced joy this Holy Week and Easter Sunday?
As I think back to last year at this time, I have taken the time to name those things that brought these emotions and experiences to the surface.
We have all been through a lot over the past year. Embrace the miracle of Christ’s resurrection with new eyes, new ears, and a new heart.
John 20:30-31 “Jesus provided far more God-revealing signs than are written down in this book. These are written down so you will believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and in the act of believing, have real and eternal life in the way he personally revealed it.”
