Waiting. Today is about waiting for the Lord. It isn't a day to do much but anticipate - the celebration is tomorrow. Today is an exercise in patience. I can feel my heart beating faster as I realize tomorrow is Easter. We get to celebrate and shout, "He Is Risen, He Is Risen, Indeed!"
Throughout my day of prayer I will do some minor chores so that tomorrow I can be free of worldly pressures and things. I want Easter to be all about thanking Jesus for what he has done for me. About being with my family. Being with HIM at Mass. Celebrating with my Church family this wondrous day.
Today I will work, pray, and wait with joy.

My kids are SO excited for tomorrow! It's kind of hard for them to understand what today is all about, but I appreciate this Holy Saturday more than ever; I can't quite explain it ... We are maintaining a quiet spirit, too, to the best of our ability with 5 little ones =) Some work, prayer and preparations, so that tomorrow can be full of celebration!!
A blessed day of waiting to you, Sarah!
P.S. I really like that photo!
Oh my - I still have eggs to dye and Nadine (the head Easter bunny) hasn't composed her letter to my husband yet. (Yep - we're just a couple of big kids!)
Happy waiting day..........
The peace and joy of our Lord be with you through you in you each of you now and forever, I pray in Jesus' Name. Amen. Happy happy Easter! +
