A Simple Easter

The joy of Christ's Resurrection

Simply expressed in the shape of an egg:

Promise, hope, sweetness, life . . .
Combined with a "Come as you are" invitation,
Set the tone for our Simple Easter Celebration.

While flowers danced

And trees sang a full chorus of beauty,

We sat down to tea with a thankful heart
For the gift Christ bestowed so freely upon us all.

A simple feast,
Fresh and delicious,

Featuring specially prepared eggs by Rachel

Paired with mom's whole wheat buttermilk scones

Satisfied those arriving
With heartiest of appetites and smiles.

The afternoon called us to orchard walks,
Teetering and tottering,

Silly games,

And butterfly hunts.

Gentle nets and sharp-eyed girls

Could catch but a single grasshopper.
(Released promptly following an obligatory photo.)

It proved a day of sweet, sweet simple joy
Full of wishes that it could last an eternity.

Thank you Jesus for a Dream Come True

And I give unto them eternal life;
And they shall never perish,
Neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
John 10:28

And this is life eternal,
That they might know thee the only true God,
And Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
John 17:3
