As I look back on these weeks between Ash Wednesday at the end of February and tomorrow, Easter Sunday, I ask what I have learned by observing Lent. I've learned to pay more attention to my relationships by spending time with the people close to my heart. Over this Lenten season I spent more time with Jesus by reading the New Testament, which is something I have done before but never gets old or boring. The story is so smooth, easy to read and intriguing to me. I learn something different every time I read it. I spent more time with my husband and children and feel I have grown closer to all of them. I love being around them. I spent time with old friends and recreated bonds that were forged during childhood. This time before Easter has been special and I'm thankful that my eyes and heart have opened to some things.
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter!
