Now resting a bit before frying chicken for the least one's birthday, which was yesterday, but we're celebrating it for two days. She wanted to go to church last night and eat at the Easter banquet, so we've postponed her dinner until tonight.
Curious about last night's doings. The evening began without candles lit, except for a couple. Then, as the evening progressed, the stories in the New Testament culminated with Christ as the Light of the World in the book of John, and the candles were lit, the lights in the nave turned on and I felt as if a darkness had fallen off of me. Not feeling it so much today...just tired, but it was such a strong emotion. The hard times of our son being in the Guard and away, plus my mom's stroke have been so burdensome. In addition to Christmas busyness, all the cold weather and Lent, it's been a difficult few months. I'm ready for a fresh beginning. And I'm ready now. Sounds pretty blissful, doesn't it?
