Amazing Grace

Easter should give us great optimism. It’s life over death! But sometimes it’s hard to find optimism when everything in our life seems to be negative, and we are always the victims.
For some, there are words that describe the dark cloud in your life right now: recession, furlough, lay-off, disease, aging loved one, death, divorce, depression. These words can describe our lives, and
indeed we can feel this is a season of dark clouds in our lives.
But there is good news...The wonder of Easter is that dark clouds can be changed into silver clouds! The silver clouds won’t be because we deserve them or because we necessarily worked for them, but because we are given them in grace.

During this Easter-tide, remember the wonderful blessings we have.


 I spent my Easter Sunday writing in my journal, reading some of my favorite books, and giving thanks for the many blessings.{In addition to my lesson plan for the week}.




The girls had fun helping with the Easter decorations and hunting for eggs. {MEOW!}

And Sheri, I got those bunnies locally (love supporting local arts). And I still have them up even after Easter.
