HAPPY EASTER !
The real meaning of Easter, is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. To Christians, it is the most special day of the year. Yes,the birth of Christ is quite important. But, his resurrection offers the hope of everlasting life to everyone!
Easter also also is celebrated with the Easter Bunny, colored eggs, jelly beans, and lot's of chocolate. Most of us will celebrate both parts of this spring holiday. Upon awakening Easter Sunday morning, the children will hunt for the Easter basket left by the Easter Bunny. Then the family will dress in their finest new spring clothes, and go off to church to celebrate Christ's resurrection.
The date for Easter changes every year. It is the first Sunday after the full moon following the spring equinox.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
May the glory
and the promise
of this joyous time of year
Bring peace
and happiness to you
and those you hold most dear,
And may Christ,
Our Risen Saviour,
always be there by your side
To bless you
most abundantly
and be your loving guide.
As promised I’m showing pictures of our annual Easter egg hunt today. It was very cold outside and I think the egg hunt was done in record time. Every year it seems we hide more and more eggs, but then it seems like there are more and more little ones to find them too. We don’t use real eggs at all anymore for the egg hunt. Now they are all plastic ones filled with candy and sometimes even some money.
I’ll be off to church a little later on. I always love Easter services. The church choir out does themselves and the church itself is decorated beautifully. They say we are to have a nicer day with temps close to 60.
I hope you all have a Happy Easter !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Bunnies are cuddly
The large and the small
But I like chocolate ones
The best of them all.

Happy Easter Ma! Such cute pictures from the hunt last week. This one will be remembered with how cold it was. Good idea with the plastic eggs, I think they last longer that way and don't get as squished. I bet the kids enjoy opening them and seeing what is inside them too :)
So thankful of that first Easter morn so many years ago when Jesus arose victorious from the grave!

Wonderful family pictures, Ma!
I love that folks like you and Betty help underscore the real reason behind Easter Sunday.
I found you via Betty's blog. I enjoyed your Easter post and photos. How blessed you are to have been part of the same church family for so long. I wish you a blessed week ahead and WARMER temps!
Happy Easter.
Happy Easter Pam! I loved the photos of the children on their Easter Egg hunt. It is nice to see that grass! There's still over three feet of snow or so on the ground in Nova Scotia. No outdoor Easter Egg Hunts this year. LIke you, I am grateful for a heart that embraces the true meaning of Easter and can still enjoy a chocolate egg or two! xoxo
