A Beautiful Easter Morn’

I started the day by driving to the edge of town to watch the sunrise. I think I’m ready for a nap now. Someone, a few years ago, said that watching the sunrise was an Easter tradition they had. I liked it. I would rather have that tradition than egg hunts. At least the sunrise has some semblance of relationship to the holiday. I wrote out my notes for my Relief Society lesson while I sat there. And then I read the four chapters in the Gospels about the morning of the resurrection while the sun came up over the mountains and shined light on everything. It was a beautiful morning.

There was a group of people gathered there at the trail head where I was parked. It seemed they had a sunrise service for some religion. They sang some hymns and the man in charge said some words. Looking at them, I couldn’t help but think that the man there had no real authority to lead a church. He could gather friends together to talk about Christ and His gospel, but he had no authority to really help those people spiritually. I am grateful that I know where to find that authority.

This evening I’m going to cook the lamb chops I found at the store yesterday for dinner. I’ve never understood why ham is the traditional food for a holiday that originated with Jewish tradition. If someone can tell me why that is, that would be nice.42D

I opened my yo-yo maker yesterday and quickly made up some spring flowers with my scraps. These went together so fast. I used ribbon to attach the button centers. Four of them have a felt leaf, the other has a fabric leaf that has two pieces of fabric held together with fusible webbing. I glued the pink ones to tiny clothes pins. The blue on with a yellow center is sewn to a pin and I haven’t decided what I’m going to do with the other two yet.
