This Sunday April 1, 2018 is Easter. And April 1st is also known as April Fool's Day. The last time Easter fell on April 1 was in 1956, and it won't happen again until 2029, next in 2040, and then not again for the rest of this century.
For Christians all over the world, no matter what day Easter falls on, it is a very special religious holiday to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. The upcoming day brings back fond memories of Easter with my family.
In thinking about plans for Easter, I called my Sister this morning to find out if she had one of my favorite picture of us as children sitting on the couch in our homestead, prior to going to Easter Sunday services. Sure enough, within a few minutes, she sent the black and white photo of the four of us kids and a text message with the words "Easter 1966." It made me smile and I was amazed at how well I still remembered that day over 50 years ago.

I remember we always got so dressed up for Easter, and you had to have a fancy Easter hat, right? And if you were really lucky, you might even get a brand new dress that matched the one your big Sister was wearing. And shiny patent leather white buckle shoes were a must have item to complete the outfit. This picture with my siblings makes me think about how much times have changed. Life was so simple and peaceful compared to today's world.
For today, keep the hope and faith--and I am sharing this Prayer for Easter, as it is one I think we can all appreciate, no matter what our beliefs.
