When our house is full, my heart is also full (aka Easter Weekend 2022)

We have had a full house here this weekend.  My mother-in-law arrived last weekend, but that's another post.  Catherine arrived home Friday evening.  Things had been tense between her and Thomas with some sibling issues, but everything was wonderful this weekend.  Oh my goodness, so much laughter between those two, and it absolutely filled my heart.  In fact, I even had to ask them to try to keep it down a couple of times so we could hear the TV we were watching.  I loved it, and I'm so very grateful for it.

Catherine hadn't been feeling well, so we watched Easter on the livestream this morning.  It does truly feel like a season or rebirth as many aspects of the worship that had to be discontinued during the pandemic are returning.  I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that, but I was watching from home so no issues with that.

My mom came down and joined the five of us for dinner last evening.  It was nice to have a meal all together, and since Mom brought eggs and coleslaw and my mother-in-law brought our ham, it was a fairly simple meal to throw together.

My heart has been very full this weekend, and I'm so very, very grateful.
