For us, This is it! Easter! It's what we believe! Our Savior Died on the cross, to save us from our sins, to show His love for us, to rescue us, to absorb the wrath of God, to bring us to faith.............
In the past, I've had a really hard time with how "Hallmark" Easter is. Don't get me wrong, I love candy more than the average bunny, but Easter is about so much more and I want everyone to feel what I feel in my heart! Last week my girls (the twins) came home reciting Matthew 28, and were pretty persistent at getting it right. However it starts out "After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week...." The twins kept saying, "at Dawn's." Our sitters name is "Dawn" so we had to explain dawn also meant morning, not Dawn's house :) But they were so excited about all they were learning about the meaning of Easter. My other girls came home school so moved by their chapel services. Megan and I watched a video on the crucifixion of Christ. The truth and reality of the season. Saturday my mom took the older 3 girls to the movie, "God's not dead." They all said it was really good. Sunday we had the opportunity to be with family. My Aunt gathered around all the girls and read through the resurrection story with them. (Aunt Brenda you Rock!) I love the support that we have with raising all these beautiful girls with strong Christian beliefs! I didn't see too many bunnies on Easter but I felt His amazing presence and His beauty!
Thank you Jesus for all you have done for us! We are forgiven! We have been set free. Unconditional Love!
In the afternoon, the girls and I went for a walk by the gully by our house. It was more like rock hopping :) Megan, with her sweet heart, had on water shoes, so she'd help everyone across the rocks. And then she'd come back and say, "do you need help mom?" And take my hand. Glad I didn't fall, I would've crushed her like a little bug :) Each one of these gems are a precious gift and we are so thankful for each and every one!!!
