Easter Messages of Gratitude 

Thanksgiving isn’t the only holiday for expressing gratitude. The spiritual foundations of Easter make it a natural time to reach out and remind someone you’re glad to have them in your life.

Examples

• “Feeling so grateful for Easter and springtime and you.”
• “Thank you for being a blessing in my life at Easter and all year through.”
• “This time of year always gets me thinking of you and how lucky I am to call you my friend. I appreciate you.”
• “Easter just felt like a good time to remind you how thankful I am for each of you!”
• “Sending bright Easter wishes, with love and gratitude.”
• “Thanks for being a ray of spring sunshine at Easter and always!”
• Un ejemplo en español: “En Pascua y siempre, doy gracias por tenerte en mi vida.”

Religious Easter Messages 

If you belong to a Christian faith tradition, then sharing the hope and joy of Christ’s Resurrection may be the key message you want to send in an Easter card. And there are lots of great ways to do that…

Examples

• “Celebrating the miracle of Easter, the beauty of God’s creation and the blessing of having you in my life.”
•  “In this season of rebirth, may you feel your faith renewed and your heart made new with the hope Easter brings.”
• “Happy Resurrection Day to a wonderful family!”
• “Praying your Easter will be bright with the hope and joy of our risen Savior.”
• “He is risen!

Happy Easter Messages 

A simple “Happy Easter” wish can be a great option, especially when the card itself has already said a lot or when keeping it short simply feels right for your relationship with your recipient.

Examples

• “Happy Easter and God bless.”
• “Happy, hoppy Easter to you!”
• “Hoping your Easter is extra bright and happy this year.”
• “Wishing you sunshine, good times and a very happy Easter!”
• “Happy Easter to the whole family! I hope it’s a fun one for all of you.”
• “Just wanted to say a warm springtime hello and wish you a happy Easter!”
• “Thinking of you at Easter and sending sunny wishes your way…”
• “Wishing you a happy, heartwarming Easter time.”
• Un ejemplo en español: “Deseándote una Pascua llena de bendiciones.”

Helpful tip: The timing for sending an Easter card is flexible.

African-American
The Resurrection Sunday church service is at the heart of African-American Easter traditions. Everyone dresses up in their best—new suits, shined shoes, bright dresses, hats, gloves. The worship services feature prayer, singing, Easter pageants, parades and speeches or recitations. Afterwards, the day focuses on family and togetherness, including a big dinner and often an egg hunt for the kids. Hiding a special empty golden egg that represents Jesus’ empty tomb is a time-honored Easter tradition for many African-American families.

CHAPTER II ANIMAL LANGUAGE IT happened one day that the Doctor was sitting in his kitchen talking with the Cat's-meat-Man who had come to see him with a stomach-ache. "Why don't you give up being a people's doctor, and be an animaldoctor?" asked the Cat's-meat-Man. The parrot, Polynesia, was sitting in the window looking out at the rain and singing a sailor-song to herself. She stopped singing and started to listen. "You see, Doctor," the Cat's-meat-Man went on, "you know all about animals—much more than what these here vets do.

I wish  you a Happy  Easter in 2023. 

"That means, 'Can't you see that it has stopped raining?'" Polynesia answered. "He is asking you a question. Dogs nearly always use their noses for asking questions." After a while, with the parrot's help, the Doctor got to learn the language of the animals so well that he could talk to them himself and understand everything they said. Then he gave up being a people's doctor altogether. As soon as the Cat's-meat-Man had told every one that John Dolittle was going to become an animal-doctor, old ladies began to bring him their pet pugs and poodles who had eaten too much cake; and farmers came many miles to show him sick cows and sheep.

"Yes, there ARE plenty," said Polynesia. "But none of them are any good at all. Now listen, Doctor, and I'll tell you something. Did you know that animals can talk?" "I knew that parrots can talk," said the Doctor. "Oh, we parrots can talk in two languages—people's language and birdlanguage," said Polynesia proudly. "If I say, 'Polly wants a cracker,' you understand me. But hear this: Ka-ka oi-ee, fee-fee?" "Good Gracious!" cried the Doctor. "What does that mean?" "That means, 'Is the porridge hot yet?'—in bird-language." "My!

V "You are ridiculous," said his sister, and walked out of the room. So, as time went on, the Doctor got more and more animals; and the people who came to see him got less and less. Till at last he had no one left—except the Cat's-meat-Man, who didn't mind any kind of animals. But the Cat's-meat Man wasn't very rich and he only got sick once a year—at Christmas-time, when he used to give the Doctor sixpence for a bottle of medicine. Sixpence a year wasn't enough to live on—even in those days, long ago; and if the Doctor hadn't had some money saved up in his money-box, no one knows what would have happened.

v Chapter I PUDDLEBY ONCE upon a time, many years ago when our grandfathers were little children—there was a doctor; and his name was Dolittle—John Dolittle, M.D. "M.D." means that he was a proper doctor and knew a whole lot. He lived in a little town called, Puddleby-on-the-Marsh. All the folks, young and old, knew him well by sight. And whenever he walked down the street in his high hat everyone would say, "There goes the Doctor!— He's a clever man." And the dogs and the children would all run up and follow behind him; and even the crows that lived in the church-tower would caw and nod their heads.
