Easter......

Holy Week was wonderful. In fact, all of Lent was absolutely incredible this year. My/our (as a family's) best one yet. I was very much looking forward to celebrating with full JOY the Ressurection of our Lord on Easter Sunday. But God had other plans. And I willingly submitted to His Divine Providence. And in His gracious merciful tender love, He shared with me, and allowed me, a drop of understanding of one of His realities on the cross, I was right there with Him, even if it was just for a second...........thank you Jesus, thank you. The second beautiful, most gracious, experience came from visiting my in-laws for the afternoon, and for a wonderful Easter dinner. I don't think that anyone has ever showed me more kindness and understanding in all of my life than what I experienced that day. I was moved to tears at one point. From the bottom of my heart I thank God, and I thank you.......you know who you are.

Good Friday was especially difficult, but in such a good way. I found myself in deep need of something to see or read to remind me of what I'm doing in this life......and I found it. I read Fr. Tom Euteneuer's "Spirit and Life" artcile Volume 05, Number 13, from Friday April 2nd, Good Friday. Wow. Absolutely exactly what I needed to read and hear & be reminded of, it could not have been more perfect. Here is the article. Pure Truth.

Thank you Jesus.
