Usually my Easter is full of noise and food. This Easter I was alone with my beagle Molly. I could make up for the food by cooking the same only a lot less. I did do that. I also participated in the live stream for all the services except Saturday night. I loved it because I could just stop what ever I was doing and be with Jesus. It was so simple. I loved it. Thank you for that blessing!

But on Easter morning I was down because that was then I family would have arrived. And they did not. Fortunately for me, my sister set up a call where we could all talk together. It was great. There were 11 of us and some small children. We talked for about an hour everyone talking at the same time. After the call we texted each other all afternoon on a group call. At the end of the day I realized that God had given me this wonderful family who kept me from being lonely on this holy day. It will be one of my most memorable Easters in more ways than one. Besides I get to eat all the city chicken and pierogi by myself.
