Hope

Good morning and Hoppy Easter to everyone! Somebunny loves you! ;) I hope that this Sunday finds you well and relaxing, enjoying some time with family maybe, or wherever life is taking you right now! It has been a nice morning already here with teamevans. We started off early at 7:30 morning mass because momma was a Eucharistic Minister. I had a moment of revelation in Church today...


The whole message of the homily today was hope. Easter is a time that brings hope to all. Hope that (in my faith) all souls will make it to heaven to have eternal life even after death. All pain, suffering, and death are temporary. Everything is temporary. Obstacles in your life are temporary all because we have hope. Hope gets us through the hard times that there will be better days...and please trust me, there ARE better days. As I continue on my journey, I look forward to these better days. Some happen now just being with friends or hanging out with my family, but even better days are to come. Hope gets me through, keeps me holding on. Never give up.


And now its's family blog day...teamevans, take it away!


Momma says:  Thank you Emmy (and Shaggy).  Hope is a great title for the day and outlook on life, not only for you and what you face, but for all of us.  Note to self - don't get caught up in the "stuff" and things left undone which is much easier said than done.  We have learned so much and as we closed the Lenten season, we closed the onset to Emily's challenge - the shock and feeling unprepared has subsided.   We have opened our hearts, minds and arms to the little "c" and that is so much smaller than Emily, and all of us - Thanks Kathleen.  It is so true and it was such a blessing for us to see you on Good Friday.  Your light shines and I could see it radiate right through Emily.


Joe says:  Hoppy Easter Everybunny! Finally writing on the blog fot the first time. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.


Mackenzie says:  We celebrate holidays so strange around here... thanks to anyone who is actually checking this blog on Easter Sunday!


Daddy-O says: We continue to be thankful for so many special people in our lives.  The little c is a game changer, but we marvel at the kindness of people.  We have been the recipients of so many kind and thoughtful acts from family, friends, acquaintances, and many people we haven't met but have have been moved by Emily's story.  For doubters, please believe us that there are many, many wonderful people who are anxious to help remove the obstacles in your life. There is so much for which to be hopeful.  My closing comment will give you a hint as to what the rest of the day holds for me.  I wish you all have a day that will not be too "taxing" and that you get to be the "Masters" of your domain.  Happy Easter everyone.
