Easter 2013

What Easter brought.....
Cooking, ironing, hemming church pants, new suit coats and shoes.
First lesson in tying a tie, and probably a last egg hunt for a growing boy.
Regular holiday visit to the fire station, good dinner with friends, but missing Daddy still.
A muddy house, happy kids, and one that threw up. 
Candy filled baskets and grumbles through the morning photos for mom.
A dark, stormy start to the day followed by a gorgeous blue sky.  Very fitting for today.
And a beautiful church service.

And thoughtful thoughts.... (borrowed, and so worth sharing):
There is a cross that has defeated every disappointment, hurt and loss.  Grace and peace on this Easter.
