Happy Easter
Hey Everybody,
It’s the Tuesday before Easter. Somehow I am thinking that I should go to the mall and buy a new dress and shoes (you saw that coming, didn’t you?) As a child, my mom always bought my sister and me new outfits complete with pastel, frilly dress, white patent shoes, white frilly socks and hat with rubber band string. We usually gathered in the front yard for a picture, although if my mom was taking it she usually captured more sky than face.
I always wondered why we dressed up in new clothes? That was a very special event for us. The beginning of the school year was really the only other time that we intentionally bought new clothes.
Was it because we were remembering His sacrifice? Was it because we were celebrating His life? Was it because Easter still represented the crux of what we believe and the star onto which we have hooked our lives?
To be honest, I guess it was all of those things. We were remembering – His submissive response in the Garden of Gethsemane. We were celebrating – because He really did what He said He would do: come back bearing the keys to death. We were throwing a party – because anytime someone displaces a stone and emerges in grave clothes, there MUST be a party. I’m just glad I had the shoes for it.
We’ve just finished two days, three shows in Ft. Worth, Texas. Ironically, I’m going back to Irving for an Easter sunrise service. It will be my first in a lot of years and I’m really looking forward to it. I’m leaving my white shoes and hat at home.
We love you all. Happy Easter!!!
Love,
Janet
