Easter Memories

We would go to church on Easter Sunday and generally go to the sunrise service. We would eat breakfast with our church family. After breakfast, we would attend our church service. Our minister would always give an excellent sermon about Easter. I would have on a new dress and an Easter bonnet. My Mother would have a new dress on, and my Father would wear his Sunday suit.

Christ and Easter

Christ died for our sins on the cross. No one can have a greater love for one than to lay down their life for one. At Easter, let us reflect on how God has blessed us and the many prayers he has answered for us. Christ is the reason we can know that our spirit or soul will be in heaven someday. Christ is risen. He has risen indeed. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Easter Gatherings

For lunch on Easter, we would generally eat with our relatives. We would have a ham dinner, potatoes, vegetables, sweet potatoes, and dessert. While the adults would visit, the kids would play board games. The youngest children would eat at the card table, while the main table was reserved for the adults.

Easter and Children

Easter eggs would be hidden in the house for us youngsters to find. We would eat the candy inside of the plastic eggs. My mother helped me decorate Easter eggs with various colors and designs. I had an Easter basket that my grandmother had given me for years. I recently gave it to my young cousin’s children. I hope they will enjoy it as much as I did during childhood. I had a stuffed Easter bunny and baby chick toys.

Easter is a Time of Renewal

I now eat out with friends or relatives after Easter Sunday worship. Easter is a time of renewal and new beginnings. I enjoy tulips, Easter lilies, and nature’s beauty every day. I hope you and your family will make many memorable and Happy Easter memories. God Bless you and yours.
