It has been whispered you are what you eat  

Oh, I can be a ham all right. People laugh and I don't even know what they are laughing about. My sons tells me " Mom, you are interesting".

I would have to concur with their statement

Every day is a special day and I'll touch upon the reason why, @Starise. I know our sister @kwikphilly will understand why every day is holy to me. 

I was a dead man, brother. My time on this earth was at an end and over the course of many years, I had forgotten the promise of the Lord which He spoke on that day when He first called me. He will walk with me, and I will walk with Him; He shall dwell with me, and I shall dwell with Him. All I had known in this life was fleeting, having to leave not long after I arrived in any given place, passing like the breeze on a summer's day. That changed when the Lord claimed me as His own: I am not a stranger in His house and while I go here and there on this earth, I never have to depart from His presence. Ever.

When Christ restored me to the land of the living, He reminded me of the promise I had forgotten through the trial and no small measure of tribulation. Had I convinced myself that the Lord abandoned me in the shadow of death? Yes, I did. Ah, but He proved me wrong!

This is why every day is special as well as holy in the Lord. God was well-pleased to grant me this opportunity to walk in His promise before I pass from this world.  

Blessings Brother

 I most certainly do, having been at deaths door myself and still " Greater is HE that is in me, than he that is in the world"   HALLELUYAH!!!! Lets never forget that weve not been spared because ALL Born Again Believers have been spared- you & I were simply not Finished with our Fathers Will for His Purpose..... the enemy tried & failed ( defeated at Calvary!)

 Yes, defeated at Calvary & that is why we celebrate Easter!!! Praise Jesus!

 I dont know that I do anything differently than any other Brother or Sister in Christ. but as with every holiday the world celebrates I do use it as another opportunity to spread the Gospel..... Glory to God! He IS Risen on the front door and I tell " the Story" to all who will listen when they say" Happy Easter" or ask " Why do you celebrate a horrible death on a cross?"

 Of course we dont celebrate Jesus death, we remember and are eternally grateful for His Sacrifice but we celebrate the fact that Our Redeemer Lives.... Because He Lives, we too have passed from death & bondage into freedom& LIFE!!!!!

Wow, this is much longer than I expected , lol ! So, this Sunday I went to my cousins for the traditional Italian feast( tons of antipasta, leg of lamb, honey ham & tons of sides) but before we ate they asked I do the Blessing-I was both honored and privileged to share Gods Word at the Gathering & in Remembrance of Jesus Finished Work we partook His Body & the Blood..... It was a lovely day with family❤🙏

How is this day different for you?

Two ways. The church I attend has a Resurrection Day service, plus an added one ("Easter Sonrise" service) Resurrection day always means baptisms at our church. I like those a lot.

Usually it also means the possibility of a get together for a meal with some family members, but some Resurrection days I just see what is in the kitchen at home and make myself something, not out of the ordinary.

Otherwise it is just like any other Sunday, and except for going to church, it is like every other day of the year. It is, after all, not as thought what Jesus did for me is different than the day before or after! Oh, I did where a button shirt to church, instead of a t-shirt, I guess that is different, though I occasionally do that anyway on other Sundays.

Not to change the subject, but I wonder why we used the KJV term (Calvary) instead of saying "defeated at the skull", does that just sound too weird?

No, it doesnt sound weird to me .... Im thinking I probably say " Calvary" because its what Im used to hearing( yes, kjv)& its the name of the church I go to....

Well, I have to admit that Skull Chapel does not have the same charm in the name as Calvary Chapel! Unbelievers already think we are weird, singing  so many songs about being "Washed in the blood" or  "fountains of blood", and frankly, I am not sure I don't agree with them!

I remember those Easter Sonrise services from my last church. Baptisms? That's a different touch.

I agree. "It is, after all, not as thought what Jesus did for me is different than the day before or after!"
