Hi Everyone
My family is very traditional about Easter, especially my brother.
We were all up by 8 am to give eggs and other chocolates to one another. Pictured is what I received.
We then had a breakfast of savoury toast together. The savoury toast was mixed with mum's special chutney which I love.
My brother hid a whole heap of eggs in the garden and we had to hunt for them. This was fun. Even though I do it every Easter it was still fun. I found lots of eggs.
One of my friends from primary school (she is the person I've known the longest apart from family) came around and we had a great catch up. She was pleased I was feeling a lot better and I was pleased she had a house and a job.
The evening meal was wonderful. Mum and I started off with a seafood cocktail. After that was a roast dinner of turkey, chicken and vegetables, including cauliflower cheese which is one of my favourites.
I said grace at the table. This was hard as I know my family do not share my faith. I stumbled a bit but I thanked God for His love and forgiveness.
Tomorrow we go to Melbourne for the Comedy Festival which is really exciting for me. This break has been just what I needed.
God Bless you all

hunting for eggs, what fun! the comedy festival sounds great also.
ReplyDeleteMost of my family is the same, but I know that they watch, listen and think. One of these days they are going to ask a question about my beliefs and then maybe I can have an impact with them.....

Have a blast dear one!
