I hope you all have your Easter baskets filled, eggs brightly colored and best clothes ready. May your day be bountiful and beautiful and the sun shine brightly for your Easter parade. May you have many happy memories for all your loved ones to take home.
While we may get caught up in the all excitement of decorating and preparing our Easter table, let us not forget what Easter is really about. As we celebrate our time with family and close friends, let us also celebrate that this is Resurrection Sunday.
