CORONA EASTER

Once again I am behind in writing my blog and in reading others.  You would think will all this isolation I would have been an avid blogger!!!! My only excuse is that my brain has either been pre-occupied with trying to stay sane or I just haven’t had anything to write about!  I still don’t have anything glorious, funny, or possibly even interesting to entertain you with, but here’s what I got….

HAPPY CORONA EASTER!  

And what a strange Easter it will be.  In fact I think this will be the first Easter in my entire life that I won’t be in church on Easter Sunday….and that makes me very sad.  (We will be listening to my fabulous preacher on the radio though.)  And I will be having my son, DIL, grandson and granddaughter for Easter dinner.  We are not sheltering from each other totally, although we are all sheltering as much as possible in our own homes…or wearing masks for work, etc.

The menu will consist of:  Chicken Pie, Sweet Potato Casserole, Peas, Deviled Eggs, Chicken Fingers for the kids, and Strawberry Shortcake with homemade Pound Cake.  It will be such a blessing (even more so this year) to sit around the table, hold hands, and hear my husband say grace.  My husband and I always hold hands when we bless our food, but it’s so much extra special when the whole family is involved.

My 13 (almost 14) yr. old granddaughter has once again requested an Egg Hunt, but instead of candy there will be $$$$$.  Even her 16 yr. old brother will get into that!!!!               By the way, this is what he's getting in his Easter basket...he loves craves these things!!!

I always looked forward to Easter Sunday when I was growing up.  Not only did I get a basketful of treats, but I also got a brand new dress for church and most of the time a new hat to match😊  My Mama made every Easter dress I ever wore….even into high school.  And we always wore white gloves and as a little girl I wore those little white socks with lace around them and either new black or white patent leather shoes.  I felt sooooo pretty😊

This Easter my church will be empty without my church family,but I recently saw something that said it’s OK because the tomb was empty too.  I am so blessed that my mother took me to church from the time I was an infant (yet my father never darkened the door of the church that I ever knew of), and when I was 9 years old I boldly walked to the front of my little church and told my preacher I wanted to accept Christ as my Savior.  I was able to do that because Christ was willing to die for me and for my sins and then rise from the dead, leaving the empty tomb behind. 

One of my hopes is that some good things will come out of this virus pandemic situation…and I do believe there will be some good.  But the best possible thing that could come out of it is that more people will come to realize that GOD IS REAL and that He wants to be their Savior.  My Sunday School class has been praying for a friend of a friend who has been an atheist.  However, he is now asking for prayer due to having the corona virus.  Praise God! 

I hope all of you reading this are well and that you are 

wearing your masks

washing your hands...

using your hand sanitizer...

sheltering in place as much as possible...

and using supplies wisely…teehee!

 Let’s kick this virus’ butt right out the door!  I’m ready to get back to NORMAL…well, that is if I ever was normal…LOL!!!

                            I  sure  miss  hugging!!!!
