Spring

The warm days this week were proof of spring's arrival. Of course having 3 boys in 3 different spring sports also is a sure reminder that spring is here. Keeping track of schedules is a challenge this time of year. My parents from South Dakota were here this weekend and were able to attend grandparent day at the grade school. What a wonderful program the lower grades put on!! I was fighting back tears several times. The K-2 grades had a program on Holy Week and having just done Holy Week - the meaning was so fresh in my mind. Being so involved in organizing the activities at Grace during Holy Week, it was hard to fully engage it. So getting to just sit and receive this wonderful message at the program and then again this Sunday with the film and wonderful Easter inspired music was a special blessing to me. God is SO GOOD!
I don't think we have an Easter tradition at our house. As a child, we weren't allowed to do egg or candy hunts as that wasn't the true meaning of Easter. With our children we've done them, but we've not set an annual event. This year I hard boiled some eggs and the boys took paints and actually painted them with paint brushes. Then we hid and found the same eggs several times over. We ate them for Easter supper.
Until next time,
