Two Reasons to Celebrate: Faith & Fun

Easter holds different meanings for different people—and I love that we can make space for both spiritual reflection and lighthearted joy in the same season. For me, it’s a time to gather with family, celebrate renewal, and reflect on hope.
Here are two meaningful reasons I find myself celebrating every year:
1️⃣ The Death and Resurrection of Jesus ✝️At its core, Easter is the most sacred day on the Christian calendar—a celebration of Jesus' resurrection after His crucifixion.
This moment in history represents hope, redemption, and new life. For many of us, it’s a reminder that even in our darkest hours, light is coming. That grace meets us exactly where we are—and that renewal is always possible.
Whether you spend the weekend in quiet reflection, attending a sunrise service, or praying with your loved ones, Easter offers us a chance to reconnect with our faith, and to reflect on the beauty of second chances.

2️⃣ Chocolate Eggs and the Easter Bunny 🐰🍫Let’s be honest—there’s something magical about seeing the wonder in a child’s eyes as they search for hidden eggs, or unwrap their favourite chocolate treat.
The Easter Bunny may not appear in scripture, but it sure knows how to deliver joy! These playful traditions remind us to be lighthearted, to laugh, and to soak in the sweetness of the season—both literally and figuratively.
Whether you're dyeing eggs, planning a hunt, or simply indulging in a little chocolate (dark chocolate for the antioxidants, right? 😉), this side of Easter reminds us to pause and delight in the simple things.

So this past weekend in Alberta and this weekend in BC, I’m choosing to celebrate both the sacred and the sweet. The hope that comes with resurrection—and the joy that comes from chocolate bunnies and family giggles around the brunch table.
Wishing you a beautiful Easter filled with love, laughter, and meaning. 🕊️💛
