I had to get groceries yesterday and as I stood in line waiting to enter, I wanted to take it all in and engrave in my memory the sights around me.
Many people wearing masks and gloves, all standing six feet apart from each other. All weary of one another. The line behind me grew as the cold winds hit my face and at that moment, I realized that I was part of history in the making.
One day when this is all over, I will be able to tell the story of what it was like to live through a pandemic. I realized that I was not just an spectator, but part of the solution. I will be able to say that while it was so very hard to not hug my parents as I dropped off flowers and some groceries at their door, it gave me a renewed appreciation for them, for life, for humanity.
I was reminded that at the end of the day, we are all the same. As Easter Sunday approaches, the resurrection is especially even more meaningful.
This year we won’t be able to gather with our family but I still want to make it special for our little family and so I set up a simple Easter table with faux flowers and wilting tulips….
I painted these pretty eggs because it’s what I know…
Creating a little beauty is my contribution ….
I dug out old plates and napkins and I think it’s perfect. I’m not a believer in buying new every season, but this situation just shows you how in times of need, the old becomes new and one becomes even more resourceful.
I know I took a lot of photos, and I apologize but creating and photography brings me peace.
Thank you so much for stopping by today.
Wishing you the most beautiful Easter weekend.
Be blessed friends.
“The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay”

Lucy,
Your creativity and photography brought me a sense of peace, also.
The hues in this Easter tablescape are so soft, subtle. . .
with just the perfect amount of yellow accent to cheer the heavy heart.
Thank you for always inspiring!

Thank you Lucy! May God be glorified in each of our lives. He is the same yesterday and today and tomorrow! He is the One on whom I can rely. You inspire my own creativity. I’m in Independence Missouri and spring is going strong in our yard. The bulbs and flowering trees are a constant source of beauty inside and outside. As I trim trees, I bring in the blossoming branches. It’s going to storm today so I will cut some flowers for the house. Beauty is a comfort to the soul and a reminder that God is still in control and loving us and providing for us!
Christie says
Tears for my Jesus and your beauty in words well said. Thank you. One question please, can these eggs be eaten after you paint the beautiful flowers on them?
Meryl Butler says

Susan Pussilano says
How beautiful Lucy. The gift of making all things beautiful is just that….a Gift! I too am an artist and because I am made in the image and likeness of God, I create. It’s what we do. We see beauty where no others cannot. We long to create calm for the eyes and color to lift the soul in faith.
Thank you for your blog and all the “lovliness’ you share with all of us. May God continue to bless you with renewed Hope, safety and His Amazing Grace…and to your family. Happy Resurrection Sunday!

Cover your bowl and chill your dough for 2 hours in the refrigerator, or place in freezer for 20-30 minutes if you are super eager, although I cannot promise the same results if you do this.
