Happy, Happy Easter Everyone,

Can you tell this is my favorite Holyday, holiday? Of all the
reasons for celebration, Easter is my favorite.

It comes at a time of the year, at least here in Northeast, when
all things are in renewal. Our trees are budding, grass is
growing, birds are mating, lady bugs are appearing, etc.

Our sun is shining longer and for me, I am now just beginning
to see the sunsets which are such a treat for me to see over
the water and watching it from my deck or inside the house.

The birds are twittering again, such a joyful sound. The
turkey buzzards are cleaning up all the winters leftovers and
soaring high in the sky. Before I got my kayak, I used to ask
them to please take me up for a ride so I could enjoy the
water and freedom.

I think they were very happy when I got my kayak
because the very first time I got in, seven of them
appeared overhead and I swear I heard them chuckling
and breathing a sigh of relief.

I mentioned this to my oldest son who was a little
concerned about his mother going out on her own.
He said: Mom, they are just watching to see if you
are going to be their next meal”.

My son, ever the pragmatist, had me laughing.
I remember the look on his face as I took off,
I had told him I did this before on a vacation,
but I don’t think he believed me. The birds
knew and were here to give me a send off
and be happy for me with my new freedom.

As a mother, I don’t think I could have offered
my son for the sake of humanity as God did.
This fact gives me such HOPE as I know that
Mother/Father God would not allow their son
to die in vain.

Jesus, the Christ, came to show us that even when
things look the darkest as the events of Good Friday
represent, there is always an Easter. The sun (Son)
is always shining even if the clouds obscure it for
a time.

This is such a joyous occasion. Allow this day to
fill you with HOPE and confidence in your future.
We are so loved, Mother/Father God are watching
their children (us) learn to walk, fall down and get
back up again. We are like children learning ever
so much and with such enthusiasm for the simple
things in life.

Have you ever watched a child study nature in
awe and acceptance? Let us be like the children
we are. Loving all that is and looking forward to
the next adventure in life which we take for granted.

I would love to hear what was in your Easter Basket.

Love and Light,

Mary Grace
