The Story sisters (back in the day) in our Easter finery!
Hello and Happy Holy Saturday! This day represents the hard day of waiting and wondering between the crucifixion of Jesus on Good Friday and the glorious resurrection on Easter Sunday. My bible study friends and I agree; we are thankful we wait in
hope and
know how the weekend's story ends.
Last Easter we were in Spokane with most of our family and worshipped at Summit Church.
While we wait for the Coronavirus to stop spreading and the stay home order to lift, we wait in hope... hope for healing, vaccines, our economy's recovery, the simple gifts of going to the grocery without fear and attending church in person. Personally, I can't wait to spend lots of time with my grandbaby and her Mama and be allowed to travel so I can see my other three kiddos and my Indiana family.

Story sisters all grown up.
This Holy Week has been filled with sunshine here in the PNW and we've enjoyed our deck overlooking our Harbor town. Slow mornings with coffee and the Word, walks with Sydney, puttering around the house and yard and connecting on Zoom have filled my days. I appreciated what I heard on Rachel and Dave Hollis's
"Rise Together" podcast, where she talked about ten years from now and what memories her children would remember of this COVID-19 quarantine. They are working on making sweet memories with their four children. I will remember having lots of time with my normally-traveling-sales-manager hubby and Zoom happy hours with my four+ kids. I will remember waving to ALL the people walking by our house each day. I will remember attending church in the living room, and going to bed each night with a "Sleep on this" message from my pastor and a beautiful praise song on Instagram from
Natalie Grant and her husband.
While we wait, be blessed and know that
"He is not here; HE IS RISEN, just as He said."
Matthew 28:6
Thank you very much for taking the time to read, "See Jane Learn." I wish you and your loved ones a very Happy Easter! We will get through this, together. Stay well and wash your hands!
In His Grip,
