Easter

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead..." (1 Peter 1:3)

I LOVE Easter! What a time to celebrate the great living God that we serve. It was a fun year for Mary-Michael with the egg hunts and dresses (Ok, that was probably more fun for me), but I do hope when she's older anbd starts to understand what it means to trust in Jesus she will get more joy out of this fact than eggs and bunnies. Though come on who doesn't love eggs and bunnies!

I hope your Easter was a blessed one and that this week you feel refreshed. You should! God's love is a gift - it is not earned and cannot be bought. It is given to us freely because of His sacrifice - one in which we celebrate this Easter season and all year long!

Oh praise the one who paid my debt and raised this life up from the dead!!


Mom - big yellow balls are much more fun to find than Easter eggs!


Nonnie and Grandad's grandbabies.


An attempt at a picture with Nonnie and Grandad (it is not easy getting 7 children under the age of 10 to look at the camera at the same time!).


Loving my Nonnie.


Easter lunch and egg hunting with the Wiltons and Simmers. These eggs were filled with Cheerios and Goldfish - so smart Christian!


Lilly-Kate - can you share some of your eggs?
