Easter Morning

White lilacs are so beautiful and smell so heavenly.

It is Easter morning. This is one of my favorite holidays. It is so joyous, celebrating the Lord's resurrection from the dead. It is also a great time of year: spring, bursting with life and beauty. 

This morning, Jacob is sleeping because he is so sick. I am also sick but not as bad. I cooked some pasca, which is a traditional Romanian Easter bread (even though I usually make it for Christmas). I am working on a puzzle we got last week. It's a pretty cool painting of an eagle. 

I am sad that we aren't going to church this morning, and we won't be able to hang out with family this afternoon. But I know that Jesus still rose from the dead, no matter how bad we're feeling and no matter if we go to church or not. Also, the birds are still singing, so cheerfully. It's sunny and bright. And, even though he's sick, I get to spend the day with my best friend. 

So, I guess this will be an Easter to remember, or forget, depending on how you look at it.
