Waiting

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.

  3. 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?

          1. Actually, she fainted with excitement, so I don’t think you have to hide 🙂 .

    1. 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
