My post is a little late. Monday instead of Sunday, but we had a big day at our house yesterday with our sons and their families here to enjoy the beautiful day of Easter. They came to church too. One family drove three hours and were only about five minutes late for services. Now that’s being a special gift to …
Have you ever wondered about some of the traditions we have about Easter? Of course, you know why Christians celebrate this Resurrection Sunday when Christ arose and defeated death. That is what gives the Christian hope. “He is not here, but is risen!” Luke 24:6 (NKJ) But what about some of the other traditions such as why we dress up …
“The great gift of Easter is hope.” – Basil Hume I was so happy to be able to go to church on Easter Sunday this year. It seemed very strange when Easter rolled around last year and many churches, including ours, were dark due to the COVID19 pandemic. Of course, even though we didn’t get to have church services celebrating …
“The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.” ― Arthur Conan Doyle A new book ready to be released means it’s Mystery Photo time. I’ve been trying hard to see things in a new light so that I can somehow make them very mysterious for you. 🙂 But everything I try, I decide you’ll …
Today is April 1st and it’s Easter Sunday. At church we tried to remember a time when Easter fell on April Fools’ Day. We couldn’t. So I looked it up. Isn’t the internet the handiest? When you have a question like that, somebody out there has already posted an answer. So what’s the answer. The fact is you have to …
April 20, 1965 Jocie Brooke here reporting from Main Street, Hollyhill, Kentucky where if you went to church last Sunday on Easter, you’d better have been wearing a hat or something closely resembling a hat. At least that’s what Aunt Love says. She even told Tabitha she’d have to wear a hat although I’m not sure she was happy when …
March 30, 1964 Jocie Brooke reporting. Yesterday was Easter here in Hollyhill, Kentucky. We did something new here in Hollyhill on Saturday. The local businesses decided to sponsor a kids’ Easter egg hunt at the Fairgrounds. Wouldn’t you know they’d wait until I wasn’t a little kid anymore before they got around to doing something like this? So instead of …
Family ties are cherished things, forged in childhood days, by love of parents, deep and true, and sweet familiar ways.– Terri Burritt Easter Sunday – a day to celebrate with our church families and a day to gather with our extended families. Thinking about Easter gatherings seems to fit right in with my Grandmother theme the last few weeks. Did …
The grandkids were posing with my mom here, but Mom and the little one were more interested in the eggs she’d found out in the yard. Mom really loves watching the littlest ones. The bigger ones have too much energy sometimes for her. We had a busy Easter weekend with my daughter and her husband home to visit and one …
Easter is late this year – actually almost as late in the year as it can ever be. The Sunday Easter falls on can be anywhere between March 22 and April 25. This year it’s April 24. So most likely the kids won’t have to hunt their Easter eggs in the snow. A couple of years ago all the grandkids …
