I’m writing at the end of the day, so I know most of you won’t get my Easter greeting until Monday, but every day should be like Easter in our hearts, so it’s still fitting!

I walked into my church a few minutes early this morning, and the pastor and several of the other regulars came up and gave me hugs and said it is so good to have me back.  I am so glad to be back!

This morning started out with our song leader singing a beautiful Easter song from the back of the sanctuary.  The service was wonderful, and after the service, a guest who was sitting in my pew started telling me her story, and we found we had a lot in common.  I was glad to have met her.  She’s from out of the area so I may never see her again, but I enjoyed the visit.

After Mark and I got home from church, we put on work clothes and started to tackle the yard.  We have a lot we want to do, but I don’t know if we can accomplish it all this year.

Then my son called and we talked for a couple hours.  He and Sage will be coming to visit at the end of May.  When they have come the last couple of summers, I have tried to plan all kinds of site seeing, but last summer I learned that my son enjoys quality time with me more than a lot of activity, so I told him that maybe they can help with our remodel.  He hesitated for a moment when I said that and said, “We’ll see.”  I kind of get the idea that isn’t considered “quality” time.  Whatever happens, I’m looking forward to their visit.

I hope your Easter went as well as ours.  He is risen!  He is risen indeed!
