Blessed Day!

This year's celebration of Easter had so many different meanings for me.  Of course I thought about the true meaning of Christ's resurrection after the third day and how my sins have been paid by him.  I count myself blessed to have always known the love of God.  I'm even more blessed that I am returning to a strength in faith I had as a child.  It's amazing how life changes your views from one stage of life to the next, but somehow you always return to remembering God and why you believe.

Not only did I think about the true meaning of Easter today, but I thought about how blessed I have been not only in life, but in the past few months.  I'm so happy that I was able to spend today not only with my parents and precious four-legged child, but also with great friends.  Spending time with Gene and Dixie is always amusing, but I also got to see Sara for the first time in years!  It was so good to see her again!  I had forgotten how much I enjoyed talking with her.  Now that she is living here, hopefully we can become friends again.  If you know much about my past, you'd know how ironic hanging out with Gene, Dixie, and Sara is for me.  lol

I don't know why, but this 3-day weekend seems to have flown by.  I wish I had more time, but state testing and the last few weeks of the school year wait for no one.  I am counting down the days until this year is over!  The kids' brains are already on summer break, so I wish I was too!  There is so much to do before August, and I am so excited to get it done!  Hopefully time will fly by but not too quickly.  Well, I suppose I should get some sleep so I can stay awake teaching tomorrow.  G'night all!
