Rejoice this Easter Sunday! I am thinking back to past celebrations, but still thankful for the one we have today. Oh, Princess…I miss these tiny days.

Jesus Christ is risen today,

Alleluia! Our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!

Who did once upon the cross, Alleluia!

Suffer to redeem our loss. Alleluia!

Wishing you a happy and blessed Easter Sunday

The Princess’ first grade teacher has told us this experience will probably bend us so it does not break us. I’m really trying to keep this in mind as I am bent in ways I never imagined. I never imagined spring time without community egg hunts, large glorious Easter services, shopping for new springtime outfits and lovely visits with friends and family. None of these things are happening. But there is opportunity to shop online…or not at all, who’s going to see me?, to enter the new world of ZOOM meetings and worshiping from the comforts of my couch. Disappointing, yes…ideal, no…bending, probably but breaking, definitely not. How are you bending this week?

Happy to be featured at Home and Garden Party@A Delightsome Life.

There is a quiet beauty to one who has contentment. I don’t think I fully realized that before. As much as I love my home and family, I always felt I needed to add to or embellish the simple to make “unique”, “special” and “memorable”. Is it wrong to take pride in work, friendships, social media presence or perfect house decor? Not entirely, but the last few weeks, and I’m sure the weeks to come, are proving to be challenging as much of my “unique” is stripped to the “simple”…and it is not a completely bad thing. Finding contentment is my goal this week. Enjoy some simple spring touches…the season of change and rebirth.

“To be content doesn’t mean you don’t desire more, it means you’re thankful for what you have and patient for what’s to come.” Tony Gaskins

“A contented heart is a calm sea in the midst of all storms.” Anonymous

“A harvest of peace is produced from a seed of contentment.” Proverb

“Contentment makes poor men rich, discontent makes rich men poor.” Benjamin Franklin

“Contentment always eludes those who don’t count themselves blessed for what they already have.” Anonymous
