Let's Look ~ Easter 2020

Good morning!  It is Wednesday, April 8, 2020.  I think we all need reminders on what day it is :).

Today I am linking up with Let's Look At...Easter at your house.

I have a few pictures of some Easter decorations with some thoughts on this holiday this year.

This is a plate my mom gave me a few years ago I have on display in our entryway.
This is the centerpiece to our dining room table.  It is quite simple, just the way I like it.  I did get this new table runner back in February on a clearance sale from Hobby Lobby.  We will eat in here for Easter Sunday.  I let my daughters help with our Easter menu, which is also pretty simple.  They are picky eaters, so we aren't having lots of  what I would call traditional, with the exception of ham.   Below is an Easter egg garland above our breakfast area. 
I keep lights up above our mantle year round now, which I love.  We added a Happy Spring banner for the month of March and a few Easter/spring touches to the hearth.  On the floor sits my childhood Easter basket. 
Hanging by our tv are my girls Easter bags.  My mother-in-law made these years ago and they are so cute.  This is what I use for any Easter treats for our girls.  My girls are 19 and 15, so we don't do toys and treats this year are pretty slim anyway.  We have been doing our Sunday School class via Zoom these past 2 weeks.  We will do that this week and afterwards, we will watch a service.  Last week, I watched our church from Bogota, Colombia.  It has been neat to be able to see how the Lord is drawing people to online services that would not otherwise gone to a church service in a building.  There are so many great churches online, so I recommend finding one and tuning in this Easter Sunday.

We want to make our day special as we celebrate the hope of our Savior and that He lives.  That is what keeps me going day to day....because He lives, I can face tomorrow.  Because He lives, all fear is gone.  Because I know He holds my future and life is worth the living just because He lives.
