Hockey & This Holy Weekend

Hi Friends

First, an update. Matt finally made it home Tuesday - yay! and thank goodness. And we were able to go to Annie's hockey banquet together this week. I can't believe my baby is a senior and this wraps up the sports I've been following her do since she she was almost 4 years old. 😢 But I'm beyond proud of her. She received some special awards. Then the seniors all got up and said some words and Annie looked at Matt and I and thanked us specifically and talked about her hockey career at her school and the connections there. She was so eloquent and Matt & I both had to wipe away some tears. Pretty cool moment. 

💗💗💗

But today, Good Friday, is about this for me. Time with my Lord and thanking Him for all He did for my sins. I will be fasting all day, doing more devotional time, and working in hospice today in His name. 

Saturday will be a time of anticipation. We will clean and tidy and I'll prepare some of the menu ahead for Sunday. And I will continue in deeper devotional time.

And then Sunday will come and shine bright (it's actually supposed to be in the 40's and sunny - yay for melting the snow!) ☀️ And we will go to church and worship and rejoice. And then come home to host family for Easter dinner in the afternoon. My Mom & step Dad, my Brother & my SIL Jill, my kiddos (+ Aaron's sweetie, another Jill), and Matt & I will all gather and eat ham dinner with all the sides, visit, laugh, have dessert, play games and enjoy a wonderful day together. I even have little easter basket goodies for the kids (can't help myself). I'm so grateful for abundant blessings in my life thanks to He who saved us all! 😊💕

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and a very Happy Easter if you celebrate. Blessings to you always!
