As I sit outside on this beautiful Easter Morning . . .
I have been reflecting on past Easter mornings when giggles and laughter filled the yard . . .
while my children quickly searched for hidden Easter eggs which we had so creatively painted the night before.
And then searched even harder for their treasured Easter Baskets filled with brightly colored treats . . .
and then to come inside and find their new Easter outfits (usually something in a pastel color) waiting to be put on . . .
and join them at church service.
Today my yard is quiet . . .
It’s just me and my husband . . .
I am still dressed up in my pastels . . .
But instead of searching for the hidden Easter eggs and treasured baskets . . .
I am just taking time to remember Him . . .
Because of Him I am the woman I am today . . .
Full of Joy
Full of Peace
Full of Love . . . all because of Him.
May you each enjoy this wonderful Easter Day!
Join me over at Patti’s for Visible Monday.

Trina,
What a lovely and meaningful post !
I do love that soft mint on you and you look so lovely. It is strange when the chicks leave the nest, I can relate to that.
Your necklace is beautiful, too.
happy Easter, belated, but true!

Thank you Elle, I knew you could relate to the empty part. Next year I’m for sure flying to Omaha so I can see a little one hunt for eggs again.

Happy Easter, Trina! I love your look, the skirt is wonderful, I like the color, volume and flight. I love your romantic and delicate appearance, with the basket of flowers.
trinagrandinetti says
Thank you Josep-Maria. I’m still trying to find other ways to pair with this wonderful skirt. I’m thinking white or lavender or even navy?
nofearoffashion says
You look very sereen. I cannot help thinking “and what a lovely necklace with matching bracelet”. Even though your message is not about clothes. This is always difficult for me, a non-believer. Or perhaps that is not true. Let’s say I do not rule it out that there is a God. I just think if there is, it is probably very different from what we little mortals imagine or what we have been told. But I can envy your belief. Believer or not, I live my life according to Christian standards. And enough said about this on your blog.

My necklace and bracelet were one of my finds in Branson (while hubby was at meetings, the wife needs something to do). And, believe me, it is effident you live your life to Christian Standards. To me, its just about one thing, “love another”. You are definitely a most kind and loving person! Enough said.
woodlucker says
Lovely post Trina. I can feel the power and commitment of your belief. You look lovely in this Easter outfit. The skirt is pretty especially with the white jewelry. Enjoyed seeing the picture of you and sweet Jan in your earlier post!

My darling daughter, what a beautiful post this was for our Easter Sunday. Your backyard will once again be full of laughter and fun as you start filling it up with grandchildren. Just remember to enjoy each and every moment because those years also pass all to quickly.
