This is our second Easter Sunday in lockdown in the UK (I think all four countries are still affected).

Praying for those in Congress right now, carrying on with business after what must have been a terrifying day.

Praying for a peaceful transition of power, and the new administration.

To keep our spirits up perhaps we should follow the old tradition of keeping decorations up to Candlemas - 2nd Feb.
