The resurrection of Jesus is the apex of our Christian faith. For fifty days, we, as the people of God, celebrate this life-changing event. As we move through the Easter season, I am trying to be more intentional in celebrating. As Wendell Berry so powerfully states, I am trying to "practice resurrection" in my daily life.
I've found that a powerful and easy way to practice resurrection in my home is with flowers. I make sure to keep a bouquet or little mini bouquets on our kitchen table all through the season of Easter to remind us that we are celebrating.
Every time I walk through the room and see those flowers, I am immediately prompted to offer thanks and praise for all that was accomplished on my behalf through Jesus' death and resurrection and I hope that the same is true for my husband and children as well!
Little Easter Flower Arrangements
For the little Easter flower arrangements that are in the pictures, I used various sizes of canning or jelly jars, a bouquet of alstromerias from my grocery store, and a thrifted white tablecloth. Alstromerias are a very common flower bouquet sold in grocery stores. They are very inexpensive and when used by themselves, have a very sweet, simple look. I love them! Oh, and they last for a very long time!
