F-easter
Hello, Readers!
Been a while. Had a busy week though it's time to repent and reflect on all the events that happened throughout the year. Time to spend time collect yourself and meet your soul. Yah know? I'm not a religious person but I do believe in Him.
I wanna talk about today. There is a misconception regarding the celebration for Christmas and Easter. Did you know that Easter ought to be more of a holiday for Christians than Christmas. Jesus is said to have risen on Easter.
And that's why we must be more hyped, motivated, and encouraged right now because it is the essence of "Easter".
Note: Just my thought. I do respect all existing religions, but since it's Easter, I wanna share some thoughts here. And also, correct me if I'm wrong. Just my opinion. I am respectful of all recognized religions, however because it is Easter, I would want to express some ideas. Please correct me if I'm incorrect as well. If my statements ever offended someone's culture or custom, I deeply apologize.
Today, we will delve into the rich history and traditions surrounding this joyous occasion. One of the most popular traditions during Easter is the egg hunt, where parents hide colorful eggs for their children to find. This activity not only brings joy and excitement to the kids but also symbolizes the rebirth and new beginnings that Easter represents. So, let us explore the many facets of Easter. ;)
Easter is a time of renewal, rebirth, and hope. It is a time when we reflect on the sacrifices made by Jesus Christ and celebrate his resurrection. This holiday is celebrated by Christians all over the world, and it represents the triumph of life over death, good over evil, and love over hate.
One of the most significant events that people can experience in their lives that is connected with Easter is the feeling of hopelessness. It is not uncommon for us to feel lost, confused, or without direction at some point in our lives. It could be a personal crisis, a health issue, or even a financial setback. Whatever the cause, these situations can leave us feeling hopeless, as if there is no way out.
However, Easter reminds us that there is always hope, even in the darkest of times. Jesus' resurrection from the dead represents the ultimate victory over hopelessness, despair, and death. It is a reminder that no matter how bad things may seem, there is always a chance for a new beginning.
When we face difficult situations in our lives, we should take comfort in the fact that we are not alone. Jesus himself faced immense suffering and sacrifice, but he never lost hope. He knew that his ultimate reward was waiting for him on the other side, and he held onto that hope until the very end.
Similarly, we must hold onto hope and have faith that things will get better. This doesn't mean that we should be blindly optimistic or ignore the reality of our situation. Instead, we should acknowledge the challenges we face while maintaining a positive outlook for the future.
We can also draw inspiration from the example set by Jesus Christ. His life was one of selflessness, love, and service to others. He showed us that true greatness comes from serving others and putting their needs before our own. We can follow his example by reaching out to those in need and offering our help and support.
Another important lesson we can learn from Easter is the power of forgiveness. Jesus forgave those who betrayed him and even those who crucified him. He taught us that forgiveness is not a sign of weakness but a symbol of strength. When we forgive others, we release ourselves from the burden of anger, resentment, and bitterness.
When we face difficult situations in our lives, we should hold onto hope and have faith that things will get better. Remember that you are not alone, and with a positive outlook and the support of those around you, anything is possible.
Happy Easter!!!

By the way, the title "FEAST-er" is a play on words, combining "feast" and "Easter" to represent the traditional celebration of having a feast during the Easter holiday. This term emphasizes the joy and festivity associated with Easter, as it is a time for families and friends to gather and share in a communal meal to mark the end of the Lenten season.
That is a good topic to tackle about. In my opinion they are both special occasion for me as a catholic.
