Holy Saturday

My childhood Easter Basket
has faded to red and a green-black color.
Not normal Easter colors -
and I can't remember what this originally looked like.

I added a "found" nest in the yard. 

 Added eggs. 

 Some spaghnum moss.

Some fabric strips with burlap threads for  a bow.

And Easter waits around the corner.

Light.  Hope. Promise.

Through centuries of telling the story.

God breaking into history.

And changing all of our futures

-with the gift of His Son Jesus.

Though our own lives often look faded-

Easter brings us New Life color.
