Online church services in our lounge clothes, saltines and sweet tea for Good Friday Communion, coloring Easter eggs, and chocolate have pretty much defined our unique family Easter this year.
Although I feel gratitude and love being with my family, I can't help but feel both gratitude and grief during this season. For well over a month, we have all faced quarantine, social distancing, and an array of things affiliated. Our world has been halted, impacted by a virus among many other obstacles, storms, and struggles. Our hearts hurt for people going through this difficult season. Our prayers continue for God's peace and provision in every way needed.

With that, We are not without hope. This doesn't demean the present situation or circumstances we face, but gives light to the Truth and reality of Jesus' sacrifice, and what this means for us all. I'm so thankful to know that even in the midst of uncertainty, we have a living, loving God who holds the world in His hands, who never changes, and that His purpose never fails. Easter is that reminder that our Lord overcame death and we can all obtain Life and Love through His death, burial, and ressurection. Happy Easter. ✝️
We are not without Hope. 🌼
