As I watch a beautiful sunrise, with amazing colors of blue, purple & pink. I say a prayer... and think of day's gone by "Easter Past" I guess you could say. So many happy memories..... Aunt Edith's & Uncle Guy's house was a busy place on Easter morning as well as Aunt Myrtle's & Uncle Fat's. There were always big hugs and smiles to greet you when you came in. I can almost smell the wonderful food cooking made by those blessed hands..... Aunt Muriel's sugar eggs with wonderful things inside... Uncle Guy in his white shirt smelling so good... The women wearing their Sunday best...
Oh and the little handkerchief dolls Aunt Edith made... voices singing, laughter ringing, God's love bringing.......What a gift it is, to of had such a wonderful family as a child. You always knew that you were loved. It makes me wonder what kind of memories we are leaving for the young people today. I hope they are 1/2 as much as those, that they made for me.
Well here is a blast from the past that I thought I would share. This was taken in front of Aunt Myrtle and Uncle Fat's house 1963. Mom had us looking pretty sharp don't you think?. I'm about 10 yr and Charlie is 3 or 4. I loved that hat..... Just maybe I'll wear a hat today, and if asked why, I'll say...Once upon a time in Easter Past, There was a love that would forever last....
"Although it happened long ago, That first glad Easter day; Within the true believer's heart, It's just as real today... Although it happened long ago, It still is true today; Oh, let our hearts rejoice and sing, The stone is rolled away!"
May Easter Sunday morning bring,
joy to your heart as you remember the miracle!
