Zion and Resurrection Sunday

What a beautiful Easter we enjoyed this year! The weather was perfect. We went to church with Honey, Poppa, Uncle Tyler, and Aunt Kayla. Then we had a scrumptious lunch on the porch and soaked up the sunshine and spring flowers. Here are a few photos for your enjoyment...

Each year I enjoy celebrating Easter more and more--this extended pause in the calendar as we observe the Lenten season. Even when all hope seems lost, to remember that Resurrection Sunday is coming. This year held special significance as Easter fell on the same day as Zion's heavenly anniversary. To sing hymns of Christ's victory over death and His promise of eternal life is a joyous way to remember.

Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O Death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Dying once He all doth save, Alleluia!
Where thy victory, O Grave? Alleluia!

When it seems like you're stuck in Friday, remember that Sunday is coming.
