Reflections
Remember when we were children how we looked forward to Easter. In times past Easter somehow came right round spring break which made it more fun. But today I want to share with you a few things I remember about Easter. Resurrection Sunday as my Big Mama would call it. Remembering that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ made it possible for us to have salvation. He was crucified, then buried, and rose again on the third day which is Easter Sunday. We always had an Easter play at church. We had to memorize speeches to say in front of the congregation and we always had a new dress or a new suit to wear. We always went to Big Mama's for dinner and Daddy would hide eggs for us hunt, following the egg hunt after church. I know today he enjoyed watching us hunt eggs as much as we liked looking for them. These are a few things I remember about Easter as a child.
Today we will spend time with our family, friends, and acquaintances. Talking about traditions that we have shared and new traditions we have started. Remember Christ today, reflect on your blessings. God Bless us all!

Ms. Shelle, that was beautiful, and I can tell you what I reflect back on Resurrection Sunday. Yes the speeches that we had to memorize for the plays at church, Big Mama's Chicken and Dressing, Easter eggs, the pretty dresses that she would buy for us Watts or Starr Fashions, Aunties Banana Puddings with the meringue on top, and most of all my daddy. Because he would hide the eggs and we couldn't hardly find them and when we did, they were all beat up. And the easters that we did not spend at our Big Mama's house, we all went to Roadside Park...WOW...those were the days.
