Over the years, our family has maintained some traditions despite calling three different locations home. We've never had a lot of money to spend, and we have often been unable to locate fancy ingredients or decorations. So, we've learned to keep it sweet and simple.
Somehow, that category fits us. Sweet and simple. Those kinds of traditions also mean that food is often the center of the celebration. I'm okay with that! On Good Friday, we made enough hot cross buns to share with our SITAG family.
Olivia began the coconut cake for tomorrow, thankfully without any mishaps or extra cake making! And tonight we made Resurrection Cookies. This is the first time we've been missing both Sarah and Benjamin in our Easter preparations, and I have to admit this mama shed a few tears. We are thankful for the JBU professors who are hosting our college kids right now. We are thankful for technology to help us stay in touch.
We thought we would still be in the village to celebrate Easter and that Olivia would be decorating the church, singing and dancing with her peers. She has shed a few tears over that, too. In the midst of these simple preparations, our foundation remains the same. Christ died. Christ was buried. Christ rose again.
