He Is Risen: Easter Reflections + Spring Favorites We’re Loving Right Now
Easter morning has a way of settling deep into the soul. The world feels quieter, softer, like it’s holding its breath in reverence. We often find ourselves imagining that first Easter—before the sun had fully risen, before anyone knew what had happened.
The tomb was sealed. The stone, heavy and final. The silence must have felt unbearable. But then, in the stillness, something miraculous occurred. Christ rose. Not with spectacle or noise, but with power wrapped in peace. The stone was rolled away, not so He could walk out—but so we could see in.
That moment changed everything.
And it still does.
Easter reminds us that no matter how heavy the season we’ve been walking through, there’s always hope. Stones roll. Light breaks through. And new life begins quietly, often when we least expect it.
This year, we’ve been leaning into that spirit of quiet renewal. Simplicity. Fresh starts. And creating beauty in the small things—whether it’s preparing Easter baskets for our kids, setting a lovely spring table, or refreshing our spaces to reflect the season.
As we celebrate resurrection and new life, we’ve gathered a few spring favorites that feel just right for this moment. These items are joyful, intentional, and bring a bit of brightness to everyday life.

Easter isn’t just about the sunrise service, the egg hunts, or the pretty dresses. It’s about remembering that hope is never dead. That miracles often unfold in silence. That there’s always a second act—even after the darkest hour.
He is risen. And because He lives, we carry that resurrection power in our homes, our hearts, and our daily rhythms.
Whether you're hosting a family brunch, reflecting quietly at home, or simply breathing in the beauty of spring, we hope this season brings you peace, purpose, and a renewed sense of wonder.
