Thank you Sue for reminding each and everyone of us about how the flower of Easter blossomed.
I know I say this each year, but it does concern me that there are still youngsters in our society that only know Easter because they get Easter Eggs and not what it is all about. The seed of that knowledge has to be planted, but if others are not there to do so, then how are they going to know? My own granddaughter is in the school's Easter Play and really enjoys telling me all about why Easter is nearly here - but she has also told me that there are children at her school (little Tamara is only 7) that go around saying things like "Jesus was not true" and "my mum says that she does not believe in Easter" etc - how very very sad.

Always enjoy life - and remember there is always someone worse off than yourself - treat others as you yourself would want to be treated.
