Natale con i tuoi, Pasqua con chi vuoi...

My gosh, I haven't been this happy in a while. Complete and utter bliss.

Just finished a full weekend of working, just cleaned the house, and now Chris (boyfriend) is coming over and some of Steffi's friends, and we are making a lovely dinner of rabbit, mushrooms, pasta and whatever else we have in the house. Then some spumante and fresh strawberries. MMMMMM!

But I fell in love again with Rome, and with God. I didn't get to go to church today because of work, but Steffi and I read the bible out loud together and discussed the book of Matthew. Did you know that in the oldest versions of the bible the book of Matthew stops at 28:8? The verse says:

28:8 - And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring the disciples word.

I actually kind of like that it originally ended there, with this mysterious supernatural resurrection. Also, if you can, listen to Keith Green's 'Easter Song'. Amazingly composed and the words are stunning.

The heavens opened up today and it rained and hailed in such a beautiful way. I met beautiful people at work today, and some of my clients from last week returned to say hi. This couple that was here last week prayed before their meal. It made me cry a little, because I had been so emotional after the death of a friend's mother, and it was comforting to see people praying. Made me think of home.

What a beautiful life this is, no? And best of all, I get to sleep until forever tomorrow morning for the first time in months. NO WORK NO SCHOOL! Genius!

I love you all. I hope everyone has a beautiful easter, enjoys your meals and your family and friends.

Mommy, call me! :)

The angels, they all surround us
And they are ministering Jesus' power
Quickly now, reach out and receive it
For this could be your glorious hour
