Happy Easter, Everyone! Tomorrow is the day, but it’s not too early to thank our Lord for all He has done for us. I am especially thanking Him that “ . . . by His stripes we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5 More important is the beginning of that verse: “ But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him . . .” What an awesome gift! Salvation and healing all in one verse.
Tonight we played canasta, again at our house. Before we started I ran over to our neighbor across the street’s house to get a picture of her dogwood before tonight’s predicted freeze gets it. She is Hazel and she plays canasta with us when we have someone out sick or someone extra. She was Don’s sister’s best friend from high school years and she and her husband used to keep an eye on Don’s mom and dad when they were growing older and feebler. She’s a treasured friend! This weekend she played with us because Kristy was here. Kristy is Jo Ann and Frank’s daughter. She LOVES to play canasta as much as the rest of us do. She lives near Oklahoma City, so we don’t get to play with her too much, but love it when she can come. We even go there sometimes.
This weekend was sort of like a canasta reunion because we all got to play together. There are some others who play with us from time to time, but there’s no telling when we can get us all together. We just do the best we can. The first picture is Joan, who knows every iris by name; Dorothy, who has known Don since he was Donnie, and Hazel who has the dogwood and brought those awesome cookies. The next picture is Tillie, who brought the other awesome cookies, Jo Ann, and her daughter, Kristy. These are all such great friends. Next time I’ll get the men who go with them. The last picture is Hazel’s dogwood.
Have a wonderful Easter, but celebrate it every day!
