It's Easter Time!!!

I've told you before here in this BLOG, Easter is my Favorite Holiday. Today is Good Friday. It's the day Christian commemorate the Death of Jesus Christ. Easter is the day we celebrate He Rising from the Grave. When I was younger I thought Good Friday was a holiday the Baptist (That's was what I was growing up) got off from work & school. I was 12 when I found out that I was wrong. We didn't go to school because my mother took the day off and she used that time for us to get our hair done and other decorating chores for Sunday. So on Good Friday that is what I still do. Today, I started some of my décors. I picked some flowers out of one of my grandmother's garden.

Made an arrangement for the coffee table.

Also, put out a little candy for the family.

Tomorrow I'll start part of the dinner. Dinner will be

Ham

(We only get it 2-3 times a year)

Potato Salad

Green Bean Casserole

Apple Pie

(The Farewell to Baking Season Dessert).

Pretty much every year Ham, Potato Salad, a hot vegetable Side dish, and dessert. The decorating & the meal are easy. That's one of the reasons why it's my favorite. It's not so commercial so all the hustle & bustle is deleted for me.

I think the meaning of the holiday has always warmed my heart. This week my aunt sent out an Inspiration message that contained the scripture I learn when I was in daycare. It brought so many fun memories to my mother and I this week. The scripture is:

“For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.”
 

(1 Corinthians 15:3–4, NIV)

My mother cracked up when she read that. Every day in devotion we did this scripture at daycare. I loved to recite it. It had choreography

Put your arms out like a cross (Christ Died)

Point to yourself (For Our Sins)

Make a book or Bible with your hands (According to the Scriptures)

Bend and Point Down (He was Buried)

Bring your Body and finger back up (Rose again)

Hold up three fingers (Third day)

Make a book or Bible with your hands (According to the Scriptures)

My mother said that I was so little that she didn't understand what I was saying until she asked the teacher was "According to the Scriptures". It's refreshing to know I was taught at an early age the true meaning of Easter. Because 1 Corinthians 15:3–4, is just that, plain and simple. Okay, now I'm going to dry my eyes.

Happy Easter!!!
