Good Friday has arrived. I find myself with very little to say. Random musing. Scattered thoughts. A few moments of surfing bring a smile to my face this morning. I see the Brocante Home has just snatched up the Christmas mat so my guilt eases.

We have no pecans for Resurrection Cookies nor a working oven in which to bake them. Truth be told I chafe against most “projects” though occasionally pangs of guilt best me. I printed off paper crafts yesterday for antsy funschoolers but then spent some hours of unrest over the very idea of “toilet paper Jesus“. Did we really make a Jesus from a toilet paper tube? Does that offend you as well? Ugh. No more.

Today we will spend noon til three in as much silence as ten people can muster. (yes all my chicks are in the nest today!) Later we will likely copy off the vintage bluebirds from the new Life Beautiful magazine and adorn the dining room which will greet the dear friends who will join us on Sunday. I will look around the house and think of ways to sweep out the winter and bring in the spring like Anne’s changing of the quilts. Perhaps some Easter lilies? Tulips?

There will be no more toilet paper Jesus’ however, and I do not feel badly about the absence of projects. Our faith is not measured by our production of crafts. We have not made Ukrainian eggs but we have washed many little feet this week. We will not do much baking due to said oven but we will spend the weekend as a family which is a rarer treat and much more filling in all the ways we yearn to be filled. Things are rarely what we hope them to be but always exactly what we need.

So there you have it. Random nothings as promised. I wish you a blessed close to your Holy Week and a marvelous beginning of the new season. God bless!
