How Was Your Easter?
Just wondering how your Easter went today (if you celebrate Easter).

Re: How Was Your Easter?
For our family, Easter is not a church day but a family day.
We started that quite a few years ago when going to an Apostolic Church and our children were small. We never had the money for new clothes for Easter. Many people showed up on Easter who never darkened the doors of the church at any other time of the year. It was a good chance to try to present the Gospel to them. But, rather than put up with the overcrowding and my children feeling "out of it" without new clothes, we made it a family day. We dyed eggs a day or so before Easter. Then on Easter morning we had an egg hunt and we had a large basket of candy that we all shared. Then, some times we were able to go out for dinner. Going out for a meal was a rare treat at that time.
This year, two of our children, seven of our grandchildren, and our great grand son all were here for the big Easter basket and the egg hunt. We had a big meal here and with the pleasant weather (70 some degrees) most of us ate on the deck and the kids got to play together outside.
One son went to church with his wife and two children before coming here. The rest of us took the day off church.

Re: How Was Your Easter?
I had a wonderful Easter. I don't have family in the area, so it was a church day for me. Went to an earlier morning service, regular 10:00 and 6:00. Three different churches. Had a good time, got to meet some new people, and got to celebrate the Resurrection in a way I hadn't for a number of years. It was a nice change.

Re: How Was Your Easter?
That is great Sam. It sound like a fun time.
We attended two services and and had Easter Brunch in between.

Re: How Was Your Easter?
I got up not feeling 100% but dragged myself out of bed and forced myself to go to church. We have chairs at our church (not pews) and after a couple of songs, I leaned over to pick up the bulletin I had placed under the chair when THWOCK!! the guy in front of me had his daughter in his arms and he went to sit down and missed his chair. He fell backwards and the chair and half his weight tipped over and hit me full force on the head, knocking my glasses off and making them fly. I sat up stunned and felt like I might pass out. A woman ran up to the man and asked him if he was okay. My husband tried to give the man my glasses, thinking they were his. No one even noticed I was hit! I started crying and couldn't stop so I went into the bathroom. The guy felt terrible for hitting me. So now here two days later my head still hurts!
But hey, other than that, we had a nice visit with my parents and other family members.

Thanks.
ILG, this is sign concerning your church choice... Your hubby, the man and daughter should all be disciplined!

How are you feeling now? Have you been otherwise ill?

LOL! No, I know it's funny. The only good thing is it gives us something to laugh about...No, I don't think I have a concussion. It's been two days and I just have a sore head.
