Honeybaked ham, sweet potato souffle, Aunt Dot's potato salad, fresh green beans with feta cheese, Puffy Muffin's frozen cranberry salad, Brandon's favorite orange salad (also Aunt Dot's recipe), baked beans, coconut cake, Sister Schubert's rolls, iced tea--now is that a feast? We thought so today as 10 of us sat in my dining room.
Much has been written about Christ's eating and drinking in all sorts of places with all sorts of people. Even after his resurrection, there were table stories. He must have been on to something. There is definitely an important lesson going on there. The table we share is sacramental in so many ways--the hospitality, the stories, the food (especially food with history), the blending of ages, good conversation, etc. What a joy!
Another joy of Easter weekend is finding Easter grass in the house well into April.
I do think it multiplies. And seeing all the little folks dressed in new clothes looking so fresh. The service this morning was blessed by the Holy Spirit. As I sat in the "choir" group on stage I was blessed to be able to look into the faces of worshippers as they sang and listened.
All in all, Easter is a wonderful time of renewal. Thank you God for the gift of your risen Son.
