As we have been preparing our hearts and minds through various practices of lent, and subsequent celebrations on Saturday or Sunday, I pray we are drawn closer to Him in a very meaningful way, by reflecting on His ultimate sacrifice for us all.
As in previous years one of our families traditions is to read one of the 4 gospels account of Jesus's death and reflect in writings and drawings on a piece of paper to be saved for a later time, and chronologically reflect on our own growth and thoughts during the Easter season. It then gives us something tangible to remember our journey individually during this time of year.
This year I also had the opportunity to collect sand dollars during a recent vacation, and have decorated our still standing Christmas tree with them. I can't say this was planned, but for those of us who have been too lazy to take down their trees, I found a way to take advantage of it. Most of you are familiar with the story of the sand dollar, but just as a reminder I am including this link. http://legendofthesanddollar.com/
May God continue to shine bright in all of us with a renewed sense of purpose and meaning this Easter season. God Bless!
