As an adult, my Easter is more a time of reflection. Instead of just a day or two of learning of Jesus’ death and sacrifice, I spend the entire Lenten season learning, reflecting and attempting to make sacrifices of my own. It’s a different kind of Easter but it’s the perfect way to really know and absorb what this season is all about.
In my house, there are no new outfits, no speech practice, no fancy Sunday dinner. But thanks to Hershey’s, this year my Easter does include a very beautiful basket of goodies.
This is the first basket I have had in years and it wasn’t until this showed up on my doorstep that I realized how much this season has changed for me. Who knew I had so many smiles and fond memories tied up in the taste of a jelly bean.
No matter how you are spending this weekend, I pray that you know and understand the sacrifice that was made for us all.
Very nice post. I can remember as a child, getting a new dress and going to church every Easter Sunday, but now, I just stay home with my family and than God for his blessings and salvation.
ReplyDeleteYou've made a beautiful basket. Thanks for sharing your post.
I do the same thing. I will be spending tomorrow at home.
ReplyDeleteI didn't make the basket. I guess I should have said more about it. Hershey's actually sent it to me. I met them at the Blissdom conference that I went to.
