_
It has prided itself into my knowing,
A disquieting piece of reality:
That I will leave behind,
Post earthly demise, to my rest,
A distinctly untidy nest.
All aspects a bit too much,
Unfinished,
Like the polished untied shoe,
Of a smiling small boy in his Easter best,
Who is a man that now continues,
And raises up the next…

Isn’t it funny how we think of the different months? We will now have April Showers! Each month has its own special time and this year Easter is a little later, so there are many things coming up. Be sure and check your calendar – you won’t want to miss any of these Special Services.
Even the music takes a different turn. So many of our beloved hymns are only sung once a year. We all love the Christmas Carols, and now we have the Easter Songs!
As always, if you have a favorite hymn that we have missed, just write it down and give it to me, and I will work it in. If you just tell me, it will probably slip my mind – that age thing, you know.
Also, please let me know if you know of someone in our congregation who is ‘hiding’ their talent. We are blessed, and it is great to include as many folks as we can into our Worship Service. It is great to see the younger ones participate too. As the Bible says, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
The Children’s Bell Choir will be bringing us some special music on Easter. It is so nice to see them participate as Acolytes too. Please encourage them when you get a chance because they are the future church.
Mom’s Tidbit: When those April Showers come, remember God is like an umbrella – He is always there covering us from the troubles that rain down upon us..
Until Then ~ Edwinna
