The Power of Suggestion

Easter week comes and goes too quickly! How neat it would be to truly celebrate each day we gather to worship with the same freshness.Ideally, it would be great.

It is one of our family goals to "beef up", to make greater or stronger importance, this time to ourselves. This year we took a spring break the week before Resurrection Sunday. It was such a good week and do believe we'll do this more often. How wonderful it was to truly take time--slow down--and reflect. Taking a sabbatical from normal is key to setting apart anything,

Mind you, I realize one can't make children reflect or appreciate anything more than what is already in their heart. But I do believe in the "power of suggestion". Hopefully, by our strong suggestion, they will catch on.

"Unleavened" Cookies for friends

We had a Passover dinner of sorts, greatly adapted to our tasting. We made dozens of "unleavened" cookies - no flour - and shared them with others, thanking them for their care for us.

Well it was a humble attempt to celebrate - nothing in comparison to His gift - but may the suggestions given set a course for an Eternity of heart felt celebration pointing to Him.
