Welcome to our time to sip on a cuppa & reflect upon some sweet memories of Easter time. As I look back over the decades of my life those special moments bring sweet memories of family.
It was always a time of great anticipation from early childhood, the expectation of not only receiving goodies from grandparents like Chocolate coated Nougat eggs but finding out why we remembered the life, death & celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Although parts of the Easter story always make me teary, even as a child.
And those parts are His betrayal, capture, torture & death on the cross. While there was a moment of awe during His capture when one of His disciples pulled out his sword & slashed the ear of one of the aggressors, with Jesus miraculously healing it (Luke 22: 47-53).
Then as the narrative continued, great awe & joy ensued in the Resurrection of Jesus on the third day & His appearance to not only Mary Magdalene but the Apostles many times over (Luke 24: 1-12), even cooking them breakfast on the Beach one morning after they had been fishing all night (John 21: 1-14).
Until He ascended back to the Father to sit at His right hand but sending us the support of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 2: 1-13).
But while this story became a part of our family tradition at Easter the true meaning & significance didn’t occur for me personally until I was twenty one years old, which you can read in My Story.
Then years later the significance of Jesus rising from death & ascending to the Father became even more poignant when I went through what began as a most harrowing experience but became a most wonderous one, shared HERE.
Other Special Times at Easter

The gift of a Rose…
And another year, dawn had a very special moment in;
Tea on a Mountain
May you be blessed this weekend as we remember what Jesus did for each one of us & may you come into that very personal relationship with Him. How to do this is shared Here.
Until next time,
Jennifer

Tea With Jennifer 
It is amazing how memories mean so much to us. Thank you for sharing your precious memories. It was wonderful to read about tea on a mountain with other missionary & Bible students.
It’s a pleasure Joanne. Yes, it was a very memorable & special time.
Oh Jennifer I loved your memory of tea on the mountain. Easter sunrise services were always my favorites, growing up and attending them by myself with my Dad (feeling so grown up), or sitting around a campfire with a small group from our church, or riding with my adult son to his Youth Church’s gathering on the shores of Lake Michigan. There is something so special in remembering the depth of God’s greatest morning miracle as Jesus rose from the dead! May you be blessed this Easter weekend dear friend! 🙏✝️
How lovely to hear your special times on Easter Sunday with your family Bettie. ☺️
I agree there is something very special remembering & celebrating the day Jesus changed the history of mankind for eternity by rising from the dead on the third day sweet friend. May you also have a very blessed weekend. 💕
