Goodnight all - hope you had a fantastic and blessed Easter Sunday.
The joy of today is not over - it will last for all eternity.
I had a bit of a double celebration today - being both my birthday and Easter Sunday. I celebrated by singing along with some of the glorious Easter hymns online this morning, followed by a walk this afternoon in the fabulous sunshine. Catching up with the birthday wishes on social media and text. And this evening it was minted lamb burgers, tripled cooked chips and veg, followed by luxury apple pie and vanilla pod ice cream. I didn't buy a birthday cake because I'd probably need to take out a mortgage just to pay for all the candles!
It's been a busy day and now I'm ready for bed.
Hope you have a peaceful night and thought I'd post something soothing and peaceful. One of my Eastertide favourites.
Forth He came at Easter, like the risen grain,
Jesus who for three days in the grave had lain;
Quick from the dead the risen One is seen:
Love is come again like wheat that springeth green.
When our hearts are wintry, grieving, or in pain,
Jesus' touch can call us back to life again,
Fields of our hearts that dead and bare have been:
Love is come again like wheat that springeth green.
