Before Easter Sunday – READ THIS!

Dear Friend,

As Easter weekend arrives, I want to pause and remind you of something important:

This season is for you. 🌟

It’s easy to get swept up in the activity—family gatherings, church services, meals to prep, outfits to plan, and schedules to keep. But in the middle of the hustle, don’t miss the heart of Easter. Jesus didn’t rise just so we could have a holiday; He rose so we could have hope—real, deep, soul-refreshing hope.

This weekend isn’t just something to check off the calendar. It’s a sacred invitation to experience joy, peace, and renewal.

So let me offer a few simple, grace-filled ways to pause and enjoy this Easter weekend—right where you are:

1. Make space for reflection. 💭

Take a few quiet minutes to read the Easter story (try Luke 24 or John 20). Let it sink in—He is alive. Let the truth of that bring comfort and strength.

2. Choose rest without guilt. 🫂

Even with a full schedule, you can make time to breathe. A short walk, a nap, a worship song, or even just a few minutes of stillness can reset your heart.

3. Release the pressure. 🤗

Everything doesn’t have to be perfect. If the table isn’t picture-ready or plans don’t go as expected, it’s okay. The power of Easter isn’t in the presentation—it’s in the promise.

4. Celebrate with joy. 💖

Laugh. Hug your people. Take a photo. Savor something sweet. Rejoice in the hope that changed everything.

Friend, Easter is the greatest comeback story ever told. Jesus conquered death so you could live fully—not just someday, but right now. Even in the middle of your mess, your schedule, or your questions—there’s joy available to you today. ❣️

May this weekend be more than a holiday. May it be a reminder that He is risen... and because of that, so can you.

Wishing you a hope-filled Easter,

susan
