Easter activities may look different this year, but Easter is not changing. Jesus died for you and me. Nothing can change that; not even a coronavirus. So even as fear looms over us, there is actually no reason to fear. The battle is won. Jesus defeated death on the cross. It is finished!
So I’m going to celebrate and express my gratitude the best way I know how! I’ll set a table for the two of us, I’ll get up and get dressed, I’ll watch church services on TV, and I’ll cook a special meal. Really, the only thing different is that we won’t be with family or at church. If I don’t go through the usual picking out an Easter dress, setting a table, and cooking a meal, it feels like Satan is winning. And those are things I love doing! So I’m not gonna let him win. He is in a losing battle because the battle is done.
I’ve been getting dressed almost everyday during this quarantine time. It makes me feel normal; getting on with my day like a typical day. I plan on getting dressed on Easter like I would as if I was heading to church and having dinner with my family. And actually, that is what I’ll be doing; but I’ll be heading to church in my living room and only having dinner with my hubby.
I wanted to share my Easter dress research with you! These are the ones I searched for that I knew would also be versatile for other occasions. And if you ask me, I’m definitely going to be getting dressed up for any and all occasions after this quarantine!
I hope you find ways to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior…whether that’s sporting an Easter dress like you do every year, or carrying out another tradition for your family. Either way, may you know how dearly Jesus loves you!
