Along with Apple Festivals and Pumpkin Patch Picking, October is also full of birthdays in our family!
It starts at the very beginning of the month when this little one
turned 10 on October 1st!
Not sure how that is even possible!
Later this month, on the 15th, this little one
turns FOUR.
When did we blink?
And today, this very day, this little girl
turned NINE!
So Happy Birthday to these three precious grandbabies – who aren’t such babies anymore! We’re so thankful that God has allowed us to be your grandparents!
Now that my sisters and I have discovered Zoom, we have a standing date for Tuesdays at Two. What a delight! Today, among other things, we shared how we each spent this oh-so-out-of-the-ordinary Easter.
Elna met celebrated the Resurrection with her church on Zoom. She told how they’d been working out the kinks with the technology, and how blessed she was to be able to worship with her church family even though they were all in their boxes in the screen. Lovely!
Joie and Fitz watched their pastor and were blessed by his Easter message. Later in the day they watched a Good Friday message from a favorite pastor in Chattanooga. No big family gathering, but all good!
We sat by the computer (though I did shower, put on a dress and even put on lipstick) and “attended” church outside of Washington, DC – McLean Bible Church. David Platt preached a powerful sermon and the worship team drew us in.
Later in the day we each took time to watch an impromptu Andrew Peterson concert –
Excellent in every way!
Over the course of the weekend we each either Zoomed or Portal-ed with our families and even though it was a far cry from gathering around a table and sharing a meal
it still did this mama’s heart good!
This year the celebration of Easter was different for everyone. And I mean Everyone. But Easter hasn’t changed. The tomb is still empty. Jesus has still conquered death. Hallelujah! What a Savior!!
