happy easter morning

for as long as i can remember bob has gotten up early

on easter morning

to watch the sunrise and to celebrate

the resurrection of our Lord.

 he sometimes goes alone,

or with our family

or with the whole church

or during a snow storm once (in the car)

sunrises services here are lovely

it is a beautiful way to celebrate the day

i would say our most memorable one was in africa back in 1983

and as well a sunrise over the hills in Penticton BC

my heart swells to think of what it must have been

like to be Mary who went to the tomb and found it empty.

 He is risen

He is risen indeed.

Happy Easter
