Today’s my birthday,
which I love,
and it’s Easter Sunday,
which I also love.

YAY!
D O U B L E      C E L E B R A T I O N S ! ! !

I feel excited and delighted,
filled with the happiness
that a birthday brings
and at the same time
I feel steeped in the swirl
of peace, joy and forgiveness
that this Easter brings.

What a feeling!

As it happens,
we spend most of the day
journeying home from France,
waiting and travelling
on buses and on the plane.
Thankfully,
all goes according to plan.

I don’t mind
that most of the day is spent travelling
because no matter what we do today,
it’s my Easter birthday!

Watching the sunset from the bus
on our way back to Belfast
I give thanks to My God
for his many gifts today –
a day spent happily with my family,
a day spent travelling safely
and the precious gift
of an Easter Sunday birthday.

Bliss!
