Recently, with this pandemic, celebrating Easter seemed to have slipped my mind and not be a priority on my radar. With that being said I think we need something normal in our lives, something to celebrate. I know we can not be with family and friends during this time, not even to attend church service, but we can find ways to acknowledge this holiday. Easter is about the renewal of hope and faith as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. Right now more than ever we need this sense of light after darkness. Hope is about patience; understanding and having faith in things we do not quite grasp. Hope is about a love for someone or something, and there is so much love we have to give to those working in hospitals, grocery stores, family, friends, neighbors, strangers on the news, etc. So although Easter may not be of a concern to you at the moment nor is Easter decor, I encourage you to give it at least a thought for what the meaning behind this holiday represents. There will come a day when this is all over and we did it together with hope, faith, strength, and love.
