"Today Is Easter Sunday"

The last day of Easter, but the first day of our saving grace. He has risen. 4-21-2019 Perryton, TX

I've been hearing stories today about how much fun the little children have been having hunting Easter eggs. I love to watch the little ones run as fast as they can trying to gather the most eggs. I remember when I used to do that myself. It was a time when most families got together, and had lunch then hid eggs for the children to hunt. Those memories are some of my most precious ones. I still celebrate Easter even if I have to do it alone. Today I had baked ham, potato salad, and baked beans for lunch. Then I took my little bunny, and some colored eggs out in the yard, and took a picture of them in the green grass. My Easter has not been ignored. The picture will be shared with several who read my blogs, and therefore several will share my Easter blessing. Let's keep it going in some way or another.

I visited with two of my sisters this morning by telephone. It was really nice to hear them talk about how much fun they had watching their little grands hunt Easter eggs. They too had a family dinner, and the adults played pool after the children finished their egg hunt. Their pleasure was passed on to me, although they may not know that. I am so thankful for my large family, and many friends. However, it would be nice if I lived closer to my family. I do have a trip planned to go and visit them in June. Also at that time I will be visiting my son, and daughter-in- law for a week. My daughter, and son-in-law will be coming to visit with us also. I am anxiously waiting for that time.

I'm always ready for a new week to begin. The week-ends are always lonely days for me. Every Monday I can go have lunch with friends at the Center. Tuesday I work, and have other places I can go that evening if I choose to. Wednesday I have lunch again at the Center, and do some yard work. Thursday I work, and usually have some place to go that evening. Friday is lunch day again at the Center, and I usually am ready for a little rest by the next day which is Saturday. The latter part of Saturday gets boring, and by Sunday I am about to climb the walls. I never knew the Golden years could be so tarnished before I reached them. I was expecting a shinning star every minute of every day. No so, my friend. You will need more faith at this time in your life than ever before, I don't care who you are. The life is coming to an end, and there is no way to by-pass it. We can work hard to try to forget, but our memory is better at this time in our life than ever before when it comes to thinking about tomorrow. We remember so well the old saying, “tomorrow may never come.” If not that is o k with me, but don't let me think about it Lord.

God Bless
