More than bunnies and eggs...

Well as you can see from my new layout I am very excited for Spring. I love spring for so many reasons but mainly because it means the end of winter, my least favorite season. It also means Easter time which is one of my favorite times of the year. I know Easter is like over a month away but in so many ways it signifies the beginning of new life. I think it is so important to remember the true meaning of Easter and it isn't bunnies (although they're really cute). It's about the resurrection of our saviour Jesus Christ. What an amazing thing! So every time I see a flower bloom in early spring or the first buds on the trees I think it is all because of him and his many blessings to us and also the sacrifices he made for us as well. So when you are coloring Easter eggs and buying presents from the "Easter bunny" remember that Easter is so much bigger than that!

Reading your blog today about Easter reminded me of our Grandma Jessie. She was so special and felt exactly the same about spring as you do. I thing it is wonderful that somehow these things pass down from generation to generation even if we didn't know the generations before.
