Welcome spring, Happy Easter. Thank you, Jesus for conquering death and renewing our will to live and love. Our church brought back a sixth century custom of Flowering the cross today, it was fun and everyone participated. Mary Piper gave me the idea and Bob Fleming constructed the cross. A two-year old, blonde-curly-haired little one wanted to keep her flower all through the service. I think she took it home with her, always wonderful, spontaneous happenings occur.
Snowflakes fell and turned back into water droplets by the time the service ended. What a blessing for the dry land. As I drove into church, a misty fog lay low over the power poles and made them appear as crosses in a row. Made me think of Flanders field after WW1, so thank you to our soldiers, in the past and now. Then, as the church began to fill up, so did the cross, a lovely renewed tradition to share Jesus' resurrection.
