Happy Easter to all of you beautiful ladies! I hope that each and every one of you are experiencing the joy of the Risen Christ! My Easter weekend was very lovely, but there was 1 particular highlight I wanted to share with you all. This weekend we had company come down and visit, an old family friend of my mom's and her 10 year old daughter. This year, unlike in years past when they've come down for Easter, they asked to go to morning mass with us. So, on Easter, having been away from the church for 12 years, my mom's friend stepped into a Catholic Church. She was sitting next to me, and at one point during the mass, I saw her tear up and begin to cry. Her daughter asked her what was wrong and she simply replied, "I'm ok honey, just overwhelmed by the Spirit." It was beautiful to see. When we left church, she told us that she and God were going to "do some serious talking," and that she is going to look up the local Catholic Church upon her return home. I just smiled. God is so powerful, so wonderful, and so welcoming. I hope that each and every one of you can soak up God's love and feel His warm embrace! He is risen! Alleluia! :)
Finally, I just wanted to share a song that has been on my heart since Sunday:
Christ is risen from the dead,
Trampling over death by death,
Come awake, come awake!
Come and rise up from the grave!
