Easter Sunday

For me, Easter morning is all about family. Ever since receiving my license in 2016, I have been waking up before the sun rises to travel to Mt. Pisgah Methodist Church to accompany my Gram and Granddaddy for a beautiful sunrise service.

After attending the sunrise church service, I travel with my mother to go with her mom, my Granny, to a church service. After the church service, my family meets up at my Granny’s house. Here my mother’s side of the family participates in a family breakfast. From my granny’s remodeled breakfast casserole that my dad is now in charge of making to my older brothers’ scrambling eggs, almost everyone extends a hand to help make a delicious Easter Sunday meal.

Here is a link to some brunch ideas for Easter:

This meal is all about the family coming together as one and showing each other love on a day that is completely revolved around love. Although this event does not last all day, the time that the family spends together is nothing but precious. Although my family does not participate in dying Easter eggs anymore, our Easter is still very special and will remain a tradition to the family because it is not every day that we are able to come together and have a nice meal together.

Aside from participating in the family breakfast for the sole purpose of celebrating the holiday of Easter, a major component of why we partake in the breakfast is for my granny. My granny is no longer in the condition to drive so when she is able to have the ones who cherish her dearly by her side for even just a couple hours, we know that it gives her hope for the future. Each year, there are few occasions where it is a given that the family will all be together at the same time and in the past, Easter has been one of those times.

He is not here. He has risen. Just as he said.
