How did you celebrate Easter ?

This is Easter Sunday back home, so I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a very happy Easter. As I sit here , I can't help but to think of what Easter is all about, The Christians Celebrate the resurrection of Christ, a redemption of the sole, victory over sin and death..... At the same time, others would celebrate this holiday as the beginning of new life and significance of spring bringing a fresh hope.
Which ever version of this holiday you chose to celebrate is by all means a persons individual choice... I believe we have all been given a free will do decide on our own...

At first it seemed funny to me that I was not celebrating Easter in the manner I am accustomed too, This morning I celebrated Easter in a way I never had before.... I joined Jengish with his friend Tyler as they brought a new hope to a homeless lady they have been supporting.
There were no candles, no chocolates, no Easter eggs, no hot cross buns, not even a sunrise service,
yet I can't help but think that Today, I had the opportunity to celebrate Easter in it's purist form.... Today I feel blessed.

john,

Missed you this Easter :( Pastor Ron spoke on "Seeing is believing" at some point in our lives we start to believe what we see, or believe in God through what we experience. At times in the mission field it may appear that you are on your own, but for us looking in through your blog, it allows us all to experience God with skin on.

It's a new day

Dan :)
