Pepper Jelly Deviled Eggs
When everything started to become real with the covid quarantine, I thought to myself and prayed that surely this would resolve by Easter. Sadly, it isn’t looking that way, and I am afraid I won’t be going on for Easter, for the first time in my life. With that said, Easter has always been one of my most favorite holidays to observe. This time of year is so joyful and calls for much celebration of our Risen Savior. Though there is so much unknown right now and I may not celebrate Easter at home, I will still choose joy for this special day. I’ve developed some delicious Pepper Jelly Deviled Eggs to get your Easter celebration started. During this unprecedented time, we are reminded how very human we are, and that we are not in control. This year, I will be eating a delicious Pepper Jelly Deviled Egg while reflecting on one of my favorite Easter hymns below.
“I serve a risen Savior, He’s in the world today. I know that He is living, Whatever men may say. I see His hand of mercy; I hear His voice of cheer; And just the time I need Him He’s always near.
He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today! He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way. He lives, He lives, salvation to impart! You ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my heart.
In all the world around me I see His loving care, And though my heart grows weary, I never will despair; I know that He is leading, Through all the stormy blast; The day of His appearing Will come at last.
Rejoice, rejoice, O' Christian, Lift up your voice and sing Eternal hallelujahs To Jesus Christ the King! The Hope of all who seek Him, The Help of all who find, None other is so loving, So good and kind.”
