Why can’t more days be like Easter

With Easter Sunday right around the corner, you probably already have plans. For most of you, your Easter plans might be much different than your typical Sunday. Since it’s a holiday, you might have rearranged your day in order to spend it with your family. That’s nice, but why do it only on holidays?

We have a tendency to get caught up in the minutiae of our lives and become so focused on the small, inconsequential things, that we lose sight of the people and things that are truly important. Holidays like Easter, Christmas, and Thanksgiving are important, since they act as a touchstone, almost as a way to slow down and take a moment to appreciate what is really important.

As you are spending the day with friends and family tomorrow, ask yourself this question: Why can’t more days be like Easter, Christmas, or Thanksgiving? If you’re not spending as much time as you can with those you truly care about, make a commitment to have more family days like Easter each year. Unfortunately, our loved ones won’t be here forever.
