You may have seen this video already, but it's a good reminder. It reminds me to consider Jesus' sacrifice and not just to focus on my plans for Resurrection Sunday.

Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler (2022)
I found that as I slowed down and focused on my relationship with God during Lent, He worked in my heart in some amazing ways. Out of this season of reflection and penitence came a deeper and more profound understanding of "the good times."

Like you, my life has been turned upside down by the coronavirus and some weeks I may not have time to write my regular blog posts.
