Easter in Heaven

As I was driving North today to Lacey for a PRN job I have, the sun was shining brighter than I have ever seen. I was soon reminded that tomorrow would be Easter and how could I come to terms with this being a special family day when my Beth is not here to share a card with, to share a piece of chocolatte with, to attend Easter service at church with, to eat Easter lunch with, to paint eggs with and then to eat eggs--YUM. I realized that since our kids were little, as a family we made Easter very special. Yes we celebrated spring, easter eggs, fun but most of all we celebrated the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. If Jesus had not died for our sins, if Jesus had not been buried in the tomb and most of all if Jesus had not been Resurrected then there would be no reason to celebrate Easter and there would be no reason to look forward to ETERNITY in Heaven where we will be united with all of our loved ones who have gone before us. Yes I can be sad that Beth is not here but most of all I can be overjoyed that JESUS IS ALIVE!!!! I wonder what Easter in Heaven is like.
