Sunday Serenity...part 2!

Tomorrow is Easter. Last Sunday didn't go so well...as you may know from my post. I have high hopes, however, that tomorrow will be better.

First of all...it is 20 minutes shy of midnight, and we are finally done dying Easter eggs.

Second, I have successfully found Easter Sunday dress in varying shades of lavender for all members of our family. And, yes, Dennis WILL wear that purple tie...(I hope!)

Third, I had a lengthy visit getting to know my neighbor today and am assured that she is still planning on going to church with us tomorrow.

Fourth, I have planned and prepped a yummy Easter dinner. I also invited my neighbor, who's alone due to her husband being deployed, to dinner. I've been there, you know...

And last, because our meeting time is late in the day, we'll spend the morning sharing in the little joys of eggs and chocolate, and being together. Then I'll go to church and enjoy the talks and lessons focusing on the Savior's Atonement, surrounded by my family and friends. I am humbled by His sacrifice, but know I need to apply it more fully to my life.

At the end of the day, I hope to regain my lost peace from last week. I hope to be uplifted and spiritually fed. I hope to have spent an Easter Sunday welcoming the blessings of family and faith in my life. And, I wish the same joy for all of you this Easter!
