Snow is gone, lawn is visable

by Leslie Jacobs


The snow from my lawn is finally gone and I see the sunlight and shadows through the window from my office.  It is so nice to finally see the sun and all it's glory--it just makes me smile.  I went to Church yesterday and the people who greeted me with smiles, hugs and kisses made my heart soar.  In fact, I may actually make it more than a yearly event.  Every good Christian tries to make it to Church on Easter...and my church (the one I grew up in) has been there for me every step of my life.

Its difficult for me to go into church sometimes, as its where I found out my dad had died (I was 16) and its where I watch my mother cry every time she went to church...so its sad.  UNITIL I get into the actual sanctuary...then I picture my mother sobbing --so its difficult. 

BUT, I am determined to not let past memories bring me down...So, I put on a smile and go inside.

Inside for me became magical.  I forgot all about my woes and just watched the choir and choir director do their stuff. The best choir in the world---and the best music too.

After Church, coffee, tea and homemade desserts greeted us all, as we talked to friends near and far.  Next year I think I will go---in fact...you may see me more.
