“Happy Easter Egg!” Beloved: “Happy Easter Egg!” is how the toddler greeted everyone who came and went from the family get-together Sunday afternoon. I expect it will catch on among us, delighted as she was with the perfection of the day. Tiny toys and candies layered in a basket, surrounded by her favorite people. So much life crammed into time and space. No words suffice, so why not Happy Easter Egg? We’ve Pentecost to celebrate before the long trek through Ordinary Time ~ MiddleEarth, if you will; the age of men, as Tolkien described it, where our lives are what we make of them. The Holy Spirit too, should we choose Her counsel and Her strength, available when and where our lives are devoted to more than ourselves alone. Justice, Kindness, Decency and Hope are the missions on the ground, dictated by our liberation and enabled by the courage discovered therein. I am ever so grateful for the privilege of sharing this past Holy Season with you. The choir worked long hours on the music for three services. The Fellowship Committee outdid themselves again with the Easter Feast. Let’s all take some much needed time and rest from church duties this week and gather for a gentle service this coming Sunday. Peace of Christ to you and yours, and once again, “Happy Easter Egg!” ~ peace & prayers, pastor annette
