Happy Easter

Well it is almost Easter which is hard to believe! I was commenting to someone that it doesn’t really feel like Easter here in Kenya, well not like Easter back in the USA. Back home, stores are filled with Easter baskets, Easter bunnies and lots of candy but here that is not the case. It is kind of like business as usual in the different stores and around town, yet I feel that Kenya has gotten Easter right and let me explain. Here in Kenya the stores are not lined with Easter bunnies but many of them will be closed for the Easter weekend. In Kenya , we get a four and half day weekend in celebration of Easter. It will give us time to reflect on the real meaning of Easter which is the Resurection of Jesus not the Easter bunny. So here in Nairobi I will not be dying eggs or eating tons of chocolate(which I do miss) during this weekend but I hope to be able to reflect and celebrate on the true meaning of Easter. I hope everyone has a blessed Easter.
