Spring Fun!!

I have been extremely busy during these couple of days that we have had off for Easter break! On Thursday, our first day off, my brother and I went shopping for our mom and dad to buy things to put in their Easter baskets! On Friday, a local youth group that I help with on the weekends reinacted the Living Stations. It was a lot of fun because we had practiced the Living Stations for several weeks now and it was great to see their final performance! Many people were so pleased with the reinactment and this made the students very happy!! On Saturday, I spent the day with a friend of mine and at night, my family went to the Easter Vigil at our church! The Easter Vigil is always one of my favorite masses during the year and it was still beautiful this year with the choir and all of the people who attended the mass! On Sunday, my family came over to my house for a ham dinner that my mom worked hard all day to prepare! It was so much fun to spend time with my cousins and to catch up on what each of us are up to!

This whole Easter week,  I have realized how blessed I am to be surrounded by such wonderful people in my life. Between the reinactment of the Living Stations, the Easter Vigil, and spending time with my family, I realized that the most inspiring people are the people that surround you everyday. At the Easter Vigil on Saturday, the priest spoke about how it is so important to help others because Jesus devotes his life to helping other people. During the forty days of Lent, I tried to help a person each day, and in many ways, I saw this happen. But I think that I will continue this idea even after Lent and Easter and try to help people as much as possible each and every day.
