its technically easter
Yay its great and all. Im happy and looking forward to having my family her for dinner we're having
baked brie in filo dough
mushrooms and blue cheese in filo dough
crab and brie in filo dough
lamb with rosemary and onion
ham with pomegranet glaze
potatoes
asparagus with olive oil and garlic
carrots
bread
milk
wine
soda
cheese cake with almonds
bamboo sweet rice
and
maybe homemade peeps
sounds good huh? Im so siked (for those of you not from the 80s in new england that means excited)
i keep thinking how different this easter was supposed to be. sammy was supposed to really get the easter egg hunt and the baskets and the easter bunny. it was supposed to be so much fun for him since the older two are too old for it to really matter. It seems I was holding my breath each year thinking "just one more year until he gets it" and I have to wonder if he will ever get it. He will hunt for eggs and Im sure it will be fun but I dont know that it will click for him. It's likely to become just another reason for him to have behaviors when we dont go on an easter egg hunt on monday or tuesday.... God it makes me tired
he has an easter basket. YAY complete with age appropriate book slinky and milk free/gluten free/preservative free/coloring free pops. Hes going to be so happy with them. I hope.
Ive been holding my breath for 3 easters waiting for him to "get it" and now I can exhale knowing he may NEVER get it. and that has to be ok. I love sammy for who sammy is, not for who he should be or who I thought he was. I am grateful to have his hugs and kisses however few and far between.
so thank you Lord for the cross you gave me. It is nothing compared to the cross you brought to calvary. it is nothing compared to your sacrifice. So i will carry my cross.
were you grateful lord the entire time you walked holding the heavy burden? Were you happy knowing what the outcome would be, knowing that you were saving us all? did you carry that cross with a lighter step because you knew?
Maybe this cross wouldn't be so hard to bear if I believed I was saving someone, but most days I feel as if I am barely saving myself.
