Eggs ... signs of new life ...spring ... rebirth ...
What a perfect symbol of Easter!
And what a perfect gift from a grandmother to a grandchild ... a symbol of the cycle of life.
Every Easter for years and years my mother gave each of her grandchildren one of these beautiful hand-painted eggs. I won't always be their guardian - one day my kids will have homes of their own they'll want to decorate - so I pull them out while I can to marvel at the delicate brush strokes and tiny details.
I thought you might enjoy them as well...
Happy Easter!
Light shines and lilies bloom. You are with us again in this upper room. We sigh and laugh at stories of darkness past. At your table we eat and sing Alleluia! Alleluia! Bells of blessing ring! We dare to touch each other's hands and side. Peace is your gift, Love is our guide. Lord Jesus, come in glory!
