Alleluia -- Christ is Risen!
"I am the Resurrection and the Life"
~ John 11:25
This will be my Mom's first Easter in Heaven, and we will be spending time remembering her and how much she loved this Holy Day. I know she is truly celebrating with the Risen Christ and those who have gone before her in paradise.
May you all enjoy your day with family and friends and sharing your special holiday traditions....Wishing everyone a very Happy and Blessed Easter!

Happy Easter, Pat! I can only imagine how you miss your mother at Easter and as you plan the wedding. You must have so many lovely memories of Easter with your mother - and you know she watches over you and your children and grandchildren from her place of glory!
Pat, I pray your Easter is happy. I know you will miss your mom being there. But she will be in all your hearts. Blessings, Susie

We too think of loved ones celebrating in Zion...and hold our older family members here on earth knowing our days together are dwindling. Can't imagine how it will be when we all are gathered in!

Beautiful post Pat. I know you will miss your mom tomorrow, but she is in heaven and you will find comfort in that. My mom left us suddenly to go to heaven, nineteen years ago. My dad left my sister and me five years later. I rejoice knowing they are together!
Wishing you Joy and Peace Pat this Easter.

Dearest Pat- What beautiful thoughts you have expressed. I know it will be bittersweet without your mother this Easter, but I pray your family can rejoice in all the blessings God has bestowed on you and yours.
Such a pretty mosaic. The holidays can be hard without the ones we've lost. We can bring them back with our best memories.

Oh Pat, what gorgeous photos and words... YES---Christ is RISEN... He LIVES... Alleluia!
I know how much you miss your Mom --but if she could talk to you, she'd say that she was dancing up there in Heaven with Jesus!!!! How wonderful is that...
God Bless You.
Hugs,
Betsy
I know how you are feeling as this is our first Easter since my dad went to heaven just two weeks ago. The hope is risen Lord is especially evident this Easter season. Thank you for stopping by my blog and for sharing your story. Patty
Happy Resurrection Sunday to you and you family! Thanks for sharing such lovely photos.
Wishing a very blessed Easter to you and your family, Pat.
Hi Pat, your post brought tears to my eyes. It is lovely, the quotes are beautiful and stained glass is stunning.
As you know it's my 1st Easter without my mom. We would have had a birthday cake for her, her birthday is Tuesday, tomorrow will be particularly difficult.
She always made the baked beans for Easter, so this year I'm making the beans as a surprise for the family.
Happy Easter to you and your lovely family!

Hi Pat! Hope you’re having a Happy Easter! Sorry for the absence, but things are ever more difficult here...
Blogtrotter Two is now somewhere in the Virgin Islands... Enjoy and have a great week ahead!!!
All those "firsts" are so difficult without our loved ones. But we have that blessed assurance of seeing them again one day! Happy Easter!
I know you will be missing you mom this Easter. I hope you have a wonderful weekend surrounded by family and friends.

Pat, your Easter photos are beautiful. I can't imagine how wonderful it must be to be part of the heavenly resurrection celebration. It is such a joy to know we will be feasting together with our loved ones again ...soon!
Just beautiful!!! Yes He has, He is risen and lives in our hearts and one day, we shall see Him face to face;)
This is a beautiful post in mosaic and prose, Pat. Yes, each day is better than the one before for your mother. It can be for us, too, if we take our time and remember the good thoughts you've shared here. Many blessings to you this week...

I hope you had a wonderful Easter. My folks really celebrated the holiday and when we were kids it was so beautiful and special. I miss those days but I enjoyed your pretty pictures and I know your mom is watching you from above!
Jesus said to her,
“I am the resurrection and the life.
He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;
and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.
~ John 11:25-26.
This is one of the best and most favorite easter quotes you can read from the bible. Very nice.
