MY FAVORITE EASTER STORY

In the end of the sabbath,

as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week,

came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

And, behold, there was a great earthquake:

for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven,

and came and rolled back the stone from the door,

and sat upon it.

His countenance was like lightning,

and his raiment white as snow:

And for fear of him the keepers did shake,

and became as dead men.

And the angel answered and said unto the women,

Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

He is not here: for HE IS RISEN, as he said,

Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

Matthew 28:1-6
(King James Version of the Holy Bible)

SPECIAL DELIVERY

Have you ever been asked to do a job for someone that you just really did NOT want to tackle...and have you ever said YES although you REALLY didn't want to...even to the point of biting your own tongue off...Yes, I'm pretty sure we all have at least once...well, I am notorious for doing this very thing...

...my dear friend from church asked me once again to do her taxes...and, of course....(biting my tongue the whole time as I hate doing my own taxes much less someone else's) I said "oh sure, I'll do them, just bring me your paperwork"....knowing my friend, I should have said bring me your paperwork YESTERDAY...as I knew she would wait until the last minute to get it all together...boy was I right...she waited until APRIL 13...

...I worked feverishly to get them done before the deadline...pestering her every half-hour as she didn't bring me all the necessary information...only to e-file them and have them REJECTED by the IRS...rejected, why?

...Well, it turns out my friend FORGOT what year her husband was born so I plugged in the wrong date on the tax form...tell me...how exactly does a woman forget such a thing...well, thankfully this was a QUICK fix and I was able to refile just in the nick of time...Praiseallujah...they were ACCEPTED...

...WHEW, what a relief...I think my friend must have SENSED my nervousness over the whole situation...hmmm, maybe it was my huge PANIC ATTACK that lead her to this conclusion...and so in her infinate wisdom...

...she had this very lovely little bouquet special delivered to the office...for MOI...

...AWWWW, isn't he just soooooo cute? Instantly...

...frustration, aggrevation...headache....GONE!!...aren't flowers just wonderful that way...they make everything better, brighter and cheerier...and all the better when they are hand delivered by a sweet little florist....

....flowers are a GOD SEND...as they always put us in a better frame of mind...don't you think?

ROADSIDE BOUQUET

On my little LUNCH time drive yesterday, I spotted these cute little PURPLE flowers....

...yes, I know they're just WEEDS...but I couldn't resist stopping and PLUCKING them right up out of the ground...after all I needed a little JOY for my desk at work...it's just such a dismal place most days...

...I stopped at the thrift store behind the office and found the SWEET little white vase for .25 cents...It was just the PERFECT size for my little ROADSIDE BOUQUET...
