Today is Easter, the most significant event for Christians in their entire liturgy; because it is the basis on which their religion is built. No Resurrection, no true religion. This was the minister’s over-riding message at the church Earl attends regularly and I attend sporadically. Easter is one of those sporadic days.
In addition, Chris, who is like a son to me, is visiting for the weekend. He arrived two days ago and we have been going non-stop ever since: eating at various local restaurants, working on marketing projects, preparing Thanksgiving dinner for Easter. Yes, you read that right.
Chris and other family members were planning to come last Thanksgiving for the weekend. But various commitments and casualties intervened, and Earl and I ended up celebrating by ourselves. So when Chris said he was coming this weekend, I decided to recreate the traditional turkey dinner instead of the traditional ham dinner for Easter.
Here’s what I’ve learned: Ham is easier. But it doesn’t matter. What matters is that we were together and had a wonderful time. Easter, Thanksgiving: what’s wrong with giving thanks for the Resurrection?
More stuffing anyone?
Hi Anne, I had a great time AND I made a blog post. Bonus! And I totally LOVED Easter as Thanksgiving. I’m thankful for YOU.
