Easter

I feel some much gratefulness! Thank you, Jesus, for my patient, generous husband. For my two daughters, their smiles and laughter light up my days. Thank you for the gift of grandparents nearby, an answer to a prayer made long, long ago. Thank you for the love and encouragement of precious family and friends, both near and far. And most of all, thank you for a day where I can stop to remember the sacrifice you made for me and all these I know and love. It was so long ago, yet the impact is as strong as though you died and rose this past week. What great love! Thank you for reaching out to me first.

¡Me siento tan agradecida! Gracias, Jesús, por mi esposo tan generoso y paciente. Por mis dos hijas cuyas sonrisas y risas iluminan mis días. Gracias por el regalo de abuelos que viven cerca de mi, una oración hecha hace tanto años. Gracias por el amor y el ánimo que dan mi amada familia y amigos, que viven cerca y lejos. Y más que todo, gracias por un día donde puedo parar y recordar el sacrificio que hiciste por mi y para todos éstos que conozco y amo. Pasó hace tantos años pero el impacto de tu muerte y resurrección es tan poderoso como si hubiera pasado ésta semana. ¡Qué gran amor! Gracias por haberme buscado a mí primero.
