It's nearly here, the pinnacle of our liturgical year.  It has been a prayerful lenten season.  We have managed to read through three of the four gospels together in the evenings and now we are talking about the Passion. The crucifixes are draped in violet.  The easter outfits are coming together. Jelly beans and egg dye are waiting in the pantry so we can sit the yard Sunday afternoon and watch the children race around trying to fill their baskets. Ham is defrosting.

There are so many wonderful, crafty ideas online.  I think of them too late as a rule.  Perhaps tomorrow we will fit one in.  Or perhaps not.  That's ok too.  It's not about the crafts after all, nor the decorations, nor the eggs as much fun as all those things are.  It's about Heaven, the big stuff of salvation.  So it seems in our best interest not to lose our peace over any of the rest.  

Thrifted finds this year.
