I am eternally grateful to Tracy L for introducing me to your amazing blog!!!!!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your kind words as always, hon. Its hard to put some things into words. We try our best, eh?<BR/><BR/>I am so glad to hear that you kept Easter simple, beautiful and focused for your children!

I resisted buying more candy, plush toys and all that. I took them to church.<BR/><BR/>It's hard to think I'm not allowing my kids to celebrate and enjoy the way I used to. It used to be such an exciting day to me. Myself and my sisters used to each get a huge basket filled with every imaginable easter treat and a stuffed animal as well... but somehow it feels right to minimalize this aspect for my boys. Jesus has been outshone too long by the secular style commercialism we've gotten so used to.<BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed reading your words - as always.Tee/Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01213584316807112321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11927999.post-1145243436743791022006-04-16T23:10:00.000-04:002006-04-16T23:10:00.000-04:00Emm. .

Sometimes it is hard to focus, even in church! sometimes especially in church!!!<BR/><BR/>Linds. . the church i described was Cedar Creek! Glenn and Sherri go there. . me and Moni and Henri went there after we all left the corps -- i haven't been there in quite a while, but was very pleased to take part in such a meaningful way to mark Good Friday and again today, to celebrate the resurrection! You're so right, words can be forgotten, but images, symbols, acts of service for others, music. . they all help me remember and i think they're just better for everyone, cuz they help us reinforce truth of God's love and they help show it to everyone.kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05786278167953612058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11927999.post-1145222704215187532006-04-16T17:25:00.000-04:002006-04-16T17:25:00.000-04:00gotta agree with ally there. i've been and gone to...gotta agree with ally there. i've been and gone to church today, and to be honest, still havent really thought much about it. sad, isnt it, how i can attend church but not feel anything? thanks for helping me focus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11927999.post-1145216983689033502006-04-16T15:49:00.000-04:002006-04-16T15:49:00.000-04:00i know what you mean about not being able to get y...i know what you mean about not being able to get your head around it, Ally. .
