It's a damp and cold
Easter saturday,
and I'm tired
The house is full.
John home from college.
Emily has moved back
home.
Laura's still asleep.
Vince, my husband,
is cooking a delicous
breakfast for me.

I can't remember when
I last had some
solitude.

I never know when
Beth and my grandson,
Talon,
will walk in the door.

This summer, my oldest
son, Alex
is moving back home.
Mary was just here
with her two sweet
little ones.

I live in a Circus
of laughter and chaos,
love and disorder.
Each wanting my undevided
attention.
Each needing hugs or
some wisdom of Moms'.

In the midst of it all,
Jesus prevails!!!

HE IS RISEN! HALLELUJAH!

Your's is such a life of adventure, full of family and fun and challenges to be sure-would Jesus want it otherwise? He came to provide us with Life's fullness--as we experience the Fullness of life- we are experiencing Life in & from  the Risen One--indeed His is arisen in our busy lives-and needed in them ,too!   Good one,Ellie.

Oh Ellie, Sounds like a wonderful reunion,  with nothing but love flying around. My best memories are those when we were all back home together.  Everyone teasing Mom, and each other....This is beautiful, as always, and I wish you all a wonderful Easter.  Bonnie

How wise of you to realize Jesus loves even the chaos, ellie.  I've been there, feeling as though I lived in Grand Central Station, and the only way I could envision harmony is if I could be 4 or 5 people at once.  My biggest problem was, I didn't accept it like you so graciously do.  God bless you.

Ellie I wish I could be the same and actually think like that when in the middle of chaos. God Bless you!
