Things Change, This Week, Earth Day, Giveaway

No my peonies are not blooming, but they are budded up
and the tulips and daffs have pushed their way out of the ground. Spring is coming!!

We enjoyed a lovely spring day for Easter yesterday. Our kids and grandkids came over for breakfast at our house, then we attended the contemporary service at our church.

Yes, contemporary service means rockin' songs with a praise band and a nod to the young folks in our church. Lots of energy and spirit. You should have been there to sing Christ the Lord is Risen Today with a rock n roll beat and the alleleuia with a kick. LOL. I loved it and love the modern songs that speak to the people of today.

Things change. There's no way the message of God's love and forgiveness would be understood if we were still singing Gregorian chants at church! I appreciate the old hymns too and enjoy singing the oldies, but the oldies just don't capture the interest or make sense to the new generation.

Do you remember Easters when you were a kid? Women wore their hats--Easter bonnets--and white gloves and black patent leather shoes. Men wore their suits and ties. Colorful corsages adorned the dresses or coats of the ladies. No longer. Although things change, Easter remains a celebration of the resurrection of Christ, never losing the power of mystery and the awe-inspiring vastness of God's love.
