Happy Easter

 

Spring Bouncing

 

Spring

Bouncing through

The air

Dancing in

The breeze

Dripping on

The blossoms

April’s here.

 

It, isn’t quite April but, I woke up to a warmer sunnier day than we have had for a while. It was so bright while I was having breakfast, that I almost couldn’t see my oatmeal. The cats were stretched out in a sunbeam on the floor by the door. Birds were walking about outside looking for seeds on the patio. My husband and I have both had our second vaccine shots and our daughter, her first. She says that in six more weeks we can have a hug. Things are looking a little brighter.

 

Did you know that March was National Quilting month? For the first time in many years, I didn’t get a quilt finished in March. I do have five tops made but not finished. And I crocheted five large afghans. That felt so warm and comforting on a cold grey day to be enveloped in yards, and yards of yarn. The cat enjoyed it too!

April, on the other hand is National Poetry month. Write a poem! Let the world know how you’re feeling. It feels good to get in touch with your soul.

 

Saturday is the beginning or the church’s general conference and some people are getting nervous. Is it the end of times? Are we worried? Or prepared? And Sunday is Easter. Rejoice. And get in touch with your soul. 

In Psalm 118:24

“This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”

President Russell M Nelson Said of this scripture,

"We live in the most vibrant era in the history of the world. I wake up every morning eager for the adventures of the day. And I hope you feel that same exuberance for the gift of life. Though our world is filled with serious challenges, I am optimistic about the future and confident about the fundamental goodness of humankind. I marvel at the compassionate outreach we see constantly from the leaders and members of other faiths and from people of goodwill everywhere who seek to reduce human suffering whenever it is found… I give you my assurance that regardless of the world’s condition and your personal circumstances, you can face the future with optimism and joy—if you have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His Gospel."
