It was beautiful Easter Sunday morning.

We got off to church early and when we arrived I was apprehensive of being too early. Bobby ran ahead of me around the corner to the entrance of the Church and when I came around Fr. James had caught him in his arms. Fr. Oliver, retired from St. Catherine's was our celebrant.

I got angry at Christie for not finishing the job of cleaning the house for our Easter dinner. I had to clean when I came home from Church.

I got angry at Christie for not finishing the job of shopping last night for our Easter dinner. I had to run to the only store open and buy several items, it was very crowded.

I thought about how these are the same things that I always get angry for at her. I thought about how this is the cross I have to bear. I thought of how peace of mind can be resurrected at any time if I just forgive. I made amends to her for being angry.

We had a great Easter dinner and I got to say grace. Mom, Dad, David and his girlfriend Ruby joined our family. I grilled up a little feast. In the afternoon we cracked cascarones and the kids had an Easter andy hunt (Christie didn't have eggs).

In the evening I watched a movie called "In the Beginning". I saw the story of Joseph who was sold to slavery by his brothers but in the end forgave them. This was such a powerful story of forgiveness that I had never understood before. I saw the lesson that one can forgive others no matter how grevious the offense only if one focuses on the will of God and sees that sin is an illness.
