Easter 2011

Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!
A fresh morning dewed with rain
Bright faces filled with sweet joy

Earth and heaven in chorus say, Alleluia!
Purple tulips blooming in a vase
Baskets overflowing with candy and cheer

Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Soft voices singing happy words
Scouring the house for brightly colored eggs

Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply, Alleluia!
A quiet, humble church and joyful songs
Sharing meals with special family

Indeed, He is risen! Happy Easter!

Yes, we had a sweet, traditional Easter with our families. No, I chose not to lug my camera along this year. Mainly due to the torrential rain the Midwest has been receiving, but also because it was simply nice to be myself. With family. At Easter.

Also, I saw this hymn idea on another blog somewhere (can't remember where), but I thought it was a nice alternative to photos. For me, words can often carry just as powerful an image as photographs. Hope you and yours had a magical Easter as well.
