She and her mom would have the most unusual bilingual conversations, her mom in Albanian and Mrs. RWP in English. It was strange to behold. I have managed to learn a little bit on my own. For example, <i>Mirë mëngjes</i> (Good morning), <i>Unë të dua</i> (I love you), and of course, <i>Krishti u ngjall! Vërtetë u ngjall!</i> (Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!)....<br /><br /><b>Yorkshire Pudding (Neil)</b>, <i>au contraire!</i> I regret to inform you that the beast within is not growling and the RWP cage has not been rattled. Of course Oestre was a goddess of springtime and there is also Ishtar and Astarte and Ashtoreth (some of them are even fertility goddesses). My post was not about them. We didn't wish one another a "Happy Easter"...my post is about the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, not green grass or baby chicks or bunny rabbits. I cannot explain Jesus any more than someone in the dark can explain a flashlight. The Old Testament prophet Isaiah said 700 years before Christ, "The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. " And that much, as pertains to me at least, is true. <br /><br />rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-14732115148603129762015-04-06T06:41:33.059-04:002015-04-06T06:41:33.059-04:00Like other Christian festivals or special days, Ea...Like other Christian festivals or special days, Easter has its origins in pagan history.

Do teach the Grandchildren yes! ? And does Mrs RWP speak Albanian too? Or have you said that and I missed it, (brain being slow as it is at present).All Consuminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03089119991474852732noreply@blogger.com
