The Bride Wore Red It’s not how we celebrate, but Whom, that matters. by Ginger Garrett There were no aisles in this grocery market, only throngs of people moving in every direction. Brightly lit stalls offered every conceivable food, plus a few Marcia had never imagined. Unable to read the package labels or prices, she bought noodles and a chocolate pastry for dessert. Tomorrow was Easter, and she was looking forward to a quiet dinner before her favorite holiday. But when Marcia served dinner, she realized her mistake. The pastry was filled with black bean paste, not chocolate. Since arriving in Japan three weeks earlier with her husband on a temporary job assignment, she had made many similar mistakes. This was why she was so excited about Easter morning. Marcia had learned that a Christian home church met in a nearby apartment. How wonderful it would be to worship with fellow believers, to do something she recognized. So, on Easter morning, she put on her best pastel dress and packed a basket with some favorite candies shipped from America.

First of all, great story to link to, Liz, I really enjoyed it!
It's funny, I was reading the story and thinking, "This isn't written in Charles Stanley's style of writing" and sure enough it wasn't him who wrote it. But Ms. Garrett did an excellent job ... loved that story.

Sorry, it was misleading the way I first had it. When you pointed this out I changed it a bit.
I just wanted to mention that this devotion came from Charles Stanley's site. He didn't write it, Ginger Garrett did.
Thanks Jim.
