It really doesn't feel like Easter this year. I'm not in the Easter spirit. I feel like the Scrooge at Christmas because I almost refused to celebrate the holiday...the traditional way. There is still snow on the ground!
I really wanted to focus on the Christ side of Easter...BUT all the fun activities I had planned for that, didn't happen.
And then I didn't want to buy the store made baskets because they were 22.00 each. I created my own and probably spent 35.00 each. Go figure.
I am going to church this afternoon. I hope I start to feel the spirit there. When I think about Christ and his sacrifice for us, I feel he deserves more from me. I wonder if he ever thought the Easter bunny would get all the attention? Does the Easter bunny even exist? No. It is a completely made up character...which is fine...BUT it should be in place of a celebration of spring! I don't believe the 2 should be combined. But what do I know, I just live in Alaska where there is no spring until June.
EASTER is the day to remember Christ, as a person, and the journey he went through so that we could be saved even though we sin. I'm grateful for the church building where I can focus and learn...even if it is only once a week.
