Easter

I love Easter. It is my favorite Holiday. Favorite. Ever.

I have loved Easter since I was a little girl. Always.

More than Christmas, more than my birthday. Easter was always a happy time in my life.


College is especially hard this time of year. (College is hard in general, for many reasons). But right now is when I wish I were at home.

I want to be filling plastic eggs with candy.

I want to be hard-boiling eggs and dying my fingers bright colors as I try to create the masterpiece egg.

I want to be preparing Easter dinner, by buying all the necessities.

I want my mom and my brothers.

I really am not sure why Easter is my favorite...

Sometimes I attribute it to Springtime

Sometimes I attribute it to a "less intensive" or "less stressful" holiday-- not as much about gifting and feeding, just happiness and being together.

Sometimes I attribute it to bright colors and tasty candy (I swear to goodness Easter M&Ms, the pastel ones, taste SOOO much better than regular ones. No lie.)


I know the real meaning of Easter is the rising of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I know that without Him my life would have no meaning whatsoever. I know that with my Savior everything is possible. I also know how extremely blessed and grateful I am to have that knowledge in my life.

With Him, things make sense.
With Him, things hurt less.
With Him, miracles happen.


Whatever the reason, I love my Savior, I love His sacrafice for me, and I love the Holiday we have to celebrate His life he lived and died for each and every individual who has ever walked the earth.

Easter is something worth celebrating.
