So just when the rest of the world is celebrating Spring and a renewal of growth and green grass and flowers, here in Colorado we are getting snow and singing Christmas carols. It seems like every Easter, we get a huge snowfall. Yes, I am thankful for the moisture because we desperately need it, but it would be nice if it could come in the form of rain instead of snow. Fortunately, the snow does melt quickly this time of year. We are beginning to see a little green grass and the tulips are poking their heads through the ground in the background, even though it still gets chilly at night. After attending church on Sunday, we had a nice Easter dinner with Paula, Eddie and the girls.
I am grateful that on an Easter morning many years ago, Mary went to the tomb where they had laid Christ's body, only to find the tomb empty. After His tremendous suffering in Gethsemane and on the cross, Jesus Christ had broken the bonds of death and was resurrected as promised. What a glorious day! I am thankful to know that we too can be resurrected, as well as our loved ones who have passed on...what a wonderful reunion we will have!
