Happy Easter

“Tomb, thou shalt not hold Him longer;
Death is strong, but Life is stronger;
Stronger than the dark, the light;
Stronger than the wrong, the right...”
~Phillips Brooks  "An Easter Carol"

Note: Happy Easter! We dined on strawberries and cream, hot cross buns (yum!), orange juice and vanilla lattes for breakfast. I wanted to create an atmosphere of celebration for the day. Easter, even above Christmas (although I love it!) symbolizes the hope and life of the Christian. He arose and so can we in this life (above our self and sin) and in the eternal if we trust in Him. The above picture is taken in our dining room. I love this little nook (even though the piano is out of tune). The local grocery store had a sale on cut flowers and I was able to splurge… they add a special beauty to the vignette. Below you can see an up close shot of the the picture that hangs above the piano. I bought the vintage print at an estate sale a few years ago and had it matted (in silk!) and framed. I love it so much, it signifies the prayer of my heart… to cling to Christ.
