Easter 2010



After church, we drove to Spring City, TN to visit with my grandfather. My grandmother passed away on March 15, 2010 and we didn't want him to spend Easter alone. We brought food and had a family meal. Also in attendance were my parent's, my brother and his family, my uncle Lonnie, cousin Lon, and his girlfriend, Denise. After the meal, the children participated in an Egg Hunt. Pictures of the Egg Hunt are on the Smilebox slide show....Please Enjoy!

Spring is Coming

This song is dedicated in memory of my grandmother, Jean Eldridge. December 28, 1926 - March 15, 2010. The flowers above are from her funeral.





We planted the seed while the tears of our grief soaked the ground
The sky lost its sun, and the world lost its green to lifeless brown
Now the chilling wind has turned the earth hard as stone
And silently seed rise beneath ice and snow

And my heart's heavy now
But I'm not letting go of this hope I have that tells me

Spring is coming, Spring is coming
And all we've been hoping and longing for soon will appear
Spring is coming, Spring is coming
It won't be long now, it's just about here

Hear the birds start to sing
Feel the life in the breeze
Watch the ice melt away
The kids are coming out to play

Feel the sun on your skin
Growing strong and warm again
Watch the ground: there's something moving
Something is breaking through
New life is breaking through

Spring is coming, Spring is coming
And all we've been hoping and longing for soon will appear
Spring is coming, Spring is coming
And it won't be long now, it's just about here

Spring is coming, Spring is coming
(Out of these ashes, beauty will rise)
And all we've been hoping and longing for soon will appear
(Sorrow will be turned to joy)
Spring is coming, Spring is coming
(All we hoped for soon will appear)
It won't be long now, it's just about here
(Out of the dark clouds, beauty will shine)
(All above in heaven, rejoice)
(Spring is coming soon)
(Spring is coming soon)
