I was given a gift card to Sears at Christmas, and I used it today to buy myself an Easter dress! Okay, Mama and Dad might have paid for part of it. . .
It’s obviously been a long time since I got a new dress, because it’s not the fanciest thing I’ve ever owned, but I feel like Cinderella in her ball gown! 🙂 I think it’s the prettiest thing I’ve ever touched.
And Easter’s a whole week away.
It feels like forever.
But really, isn’t that a big part of what Easter is? Waiting for Jesus. Waiting for redemption. Waiting for the resurrection.
Easter is about new life, and things long hoped-for being placed in our hands as a gift, for today, and for forever.
It’s a gift, how you find real meaning in the small things in the day to day…thanks for sharing
Love you Gma
You are so right, Hanna. What a beautiful post.
I bet that Easter dress is beautiful!! Would there be any chance that I could see a picture of you wearing it?? 🙂

Thanks! Oh yeah, guess I should have included one, huh? Maybe when I wear it on Easter. 🙂
Can’t wait!!!!!
Thank you for posting this Hanna, it was wonderful! Ooo, like Cinderella in her ball gown? I bet your dress is absolutely beautiful 🙂 . Getting new dresses is so fun, isn’t it?
Yes, it is! I’m glad you liked this!
You should TOTALLY post picture of it!!! 🙂
I’ll try to get one!
And guess what? It’s PINK! *dives for cover from Sky’s explosion of excitement* 😀
Actually, she fainted with excitement, so I don’t think you have to hide 🙂 .
Oh my! 😉 😀
Yes, Ariel came into our room and told me, and the only reasonable reaction to news like that, was to dramatically fall backwards on the bed, and tell everyone I fainted with excitement! 🙂 😉 😛 ~Sky
