This captures the reality of Christ present with us in the everyday…..when the celebrations have faded and we put on our regular clothes. Thank you for the reminder.

Amy! Amy! This is so beautiful! Allusions to Silent Night, Winnie the Pooh, Ecclesiastes?! Who but you could do this? Every year there is at least one moment where the concept of eternal life just shocks me all over again. It's too good to be true! "Discard shrouds forever" encapsulates that perfectly. Thank you.

As an aside, a few years ago I learned there was a word for the women who brought spices to the tomb: myrrhophores (or myrrhbearers, but myrrhophore is cooler, and -phore is the same root as in Christopher, Christ-bearer). Not critiquing your word choice. I just wanted to share. :)
