Today I woke up early, and began my normal weekend routine by taking our dogs outside and enjoying the brisk early morning. I enjoy this time of day, as it is so quiet and the only noises to be heard are the birds which are beginning to sing.
With today being Easter Sunday, I began to think about this special time. For those who are believers, it is the highest religious holiday of the year. The day we all live for; the celebration the risen savior.
I also thought about those who are no longer with us and have been called home. This day comforts me knowing that these loved ones have received the highest gift of all, that being eternal life.
Lastly, it is a time to think about those loved ones who are struggling. Not only physically but emotionally. It is my hope thru prayer and special thoughts these friends and relatives may be able to put those unsettled thoughts aside and work on healing.
As I am writing this blog today, I have been looking outside, looking at the birds arriving for their morning meal. The male and female cardinals and the red headed woodpecker have started their early morning feast as the sun has begun to rise.
Today will be a day to relax, to spend time with family, and to think about those who are loved and will not be with us. Whether they are alive or not, it is a time to think about good memories and warm thoughts.
I will be taking a day off from gardening. It will be a day to refuel and to get ready for the week ahead. I have included today two pictures, two dogwood trees in my backyard taken yesterday. It is so nice to see them beginning to bloom and to welcome this time of year.
Enjoy this day everyone and take time today to remember those who are a special part of your life !!!!!
