A Reflection for Easter [Bulletin date: April 5, 2026]
Easter is a special time to remember those who have passed on before us, especially those who planted the seeds of our faith.
For me, it was my
parents and grandparents. I can remember
my grandparents volunteering in a variety of church ministries, working at
church dinners, and decorating for the holidays. My father was a tenor in the
choir until illness took his strength away and he could no longer sing. And, when I was in preschool, my mother was
my first religious education teacher.
She inspired me to do the same for my children.
Recently, I found a
poem my mother wrote many years ago. No
one knew it existed until just now. I
consider it a little blessing from those we love who are spending Easter with Jesus. I’m privileged to share it with you:
May He who makes the flowers grow, and
gives the sun its golden glow;
May He who guides the birds in flight,
and lights the stars that cheer the night;
May He whose love shines over all, and
gives us blessings great and small;
May He, our Lord, the risen King, fill
all your days with life’s good things.
Bless you at Easter, and always!
~Jeanne (my mother)
Wishing everyone a blessed and healthy Easter, 2026.
