He is risen! Alleluia!
As I went shopping for an Easter tie yesterday, my goal was to find a green one. There weren’t many green ones to choose from. Either it isn’t the year for green, or I just wasn’t a very lucky shopper. But I did find an Easter tie I liked. Here it is:
I have Easter sunrise service this morning, then regular church, then a 70 degree day to enjoy. I may work in the garden. Or maybe I’ll just walk in the garden. So many beautiful flowers…
The redbud is just past it’s prime, but it still is pretty.
The first apple tree is blooming. I hope the apples don’t fall off this year.
And the Chinese fringe flower bushes keep on going and going and going. Mix these in with azaleas, and you could have flowers for two months straight.
UPDATE:
Easter Sunday church was full of people and singing. I think I get more emotional each year. My eyes leak for joy during almost all the singing of the Easter service. I think my favorite hymn is “Jesus Christ is Risen Today! Alleluia!”. If I can make it through the first two verses without choking up, the third one always gets me: “Now above the sky he’s King! Alleluia! Where the angels ever sing! Alleluia!” I can’t WAIT to sing in heaven!
The tie is good! It reads as green as your garden – some green with other colors mixed in. Very Easter-y, indeed!
We are going to have a 70-degree day here, too, but I believe it is going to be spent cleaning out Lloyd’s office/closet, since we didn’t do it yesterday. I’m going to think of it as an Easter Egg hunt, but with cables and adapters.
He is risen indeed!
And very nice tie! I’ve been looking for some dark green throw pillows for my couch and can’t find them ANYWHERE. Maybe green is out of fashion right now. 🙁
I love the redbud. One of my favorite trees. Well done!
I had to update after Easter Sunday church. It was GREAT!
[I “get” the “I can’t wait to sing n heaven” remark, but I hope you’re not planning on going anywhere for a while yet….] Yea, I have to send myself elsewhere sometimes to be able to even complete certain hymns. ‘Course,w e all know what an emotional marshmallow I am anyway…
Thanks for the balcony shot [did you have many CEO’s there?] Happily, any new faces we had were brought by current members or their extended family. I found that great encouragement to my heart. Praying your congregation is doing likewise. Blessings – He IS risen! He is risen INDEED!
