Easter is the 4th of April this year.....
remember I am so ready for spring.... and spring to me... means EASTER
One of my favorite holidays.... maybe even my favorite.... no gift buying.... well just a little chocolate.... ~smile
but so much more..... its about HIM..... JESUS~ I just love all of it. We read together and come up with new things to help them remember and experience what EASTER is all about.
I was reading over at Ann's blog~ Holy Experience.... and I am really considering doing this. We do not celebrate Lent.... I can remember as a child my mother talking about Lent as we grew up catholic. I think it is neat to embrace some traditions..... like Advent at Christmas. We have had a great time doing Advent. It has helped us prepare for the birth of Jesus. So I am thinking about Lent.... although I do not believe I have to give up something to be righteous.... it is only by His grace, His gift, His shed blood that I am His.
As I continue to think about spring..... feel free to share what your plans will be... what special things you do with your family.... as we prepare for Jesus resurrection.....
Do you like my new look?
