E is for Easter
This is Day 5 of my A-Z series on “What Makes Me Happy?”
Easter
Like Christmas, Easter has been commercialized to the point that most images depicting this special day of the year are Easter eggs, bunnies, baskets, and parades with ladies in their Easter bonnets.
I told you, my blogging friends yesterday that I’d try another new (to me) poetry form today. The Punnett is a 9 line poem. It’s supposed to have a biological topic. I’ll do that with doves of peace after the Easter punnett. No rhyme scheme. First line part of or an offspring of the last line. Word count on the lines: 1/2/1/2/4/2/1/2/1
Easter
Fun Holiday
Bunnies
Decorated Eggs
What about Jesus Christ?
Who’s He?
Redeemer
Risen Indeed!
Baskets
Is that all Easter is? Has it been so commercialized that people don’t realize its connection to Christmas? Jesus Christ came for Easter! Our Savior was born on Christmas to die on that Easter morning and rise again three days later that we might be free!
What Peace I have in knowing the true meaning of Easter! Free from sin! Guaranteed eternal life! What joy I receive daily in the Promise of Peace!
Here is my punnett with a biological topic:
.
Doves
in pairs
cooing
always devoted
joined together for life
perfect examples
loving
bringing joy
Peace
Oh, sorry about that! But you did laugh, right?
I was looking for a picture of a dove.
I found ducks and turkeys, bluebirds and eagles, swans and long-necked cranes,
but no doves! Can you imagine that?
The dove is the symbol of the Holy Spirit
that lives joyfully in our hearts.
God sent the Holy Spirit as our guide,
our reminder of all Jesus taught
as He lived a life of love and light
during His ministry on earth.
May the joy of Easter’s true meaning bring you peace every day.
May the Holy Spirit live in your heart!
