HE HAS RISEN!!
Happy Easter to everyone!
What an amazing day to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord. When I think of what Christ went through on the cross for me I am humbled. When I think of the sacrifice that God made in sending His Son knowing what He would go through I am horrified. I know that sounds dramatic but looking at my sweet Eli I can't imagine sending him to a place where he would be killed in such a way, I don't like the thought of sending Eli to school were he could get his feelings hurt much less any bodily harm.
Our paster said something that really hit home today. He had us look at the empty tomb (a picture on the front of the bulletin) and then look at the list of "In Memory" Easter Lillies. He said, that Christ has risen, the tomb is empty, but our loved ones are still in the tomb, they will never be forgotten and someday will raise in bodily form with Christ (if they were Christians). What a wonderful hope that gives me. I will hold my baby again, I will see my grandparents again, and when I see them they will be in a perfect body. WOW! The joys Christ gave us on the cross!
Today we went to church as a family then worked the nursery.
Here are a few cute pics of Eli in his Easter clothes!
Sorry about the crazy red eye!
On Saturday night we went to Church with Mike, Amy, Georgia, Tom, and Tess. We then headed home for a wonderful meal. We did not get a family pic with everyone but here are a few with Eli and Georgia.
Loven on each other.
Sorry about the color and red eyes, but I thought the hug was so cute!
And of course the 'I am going to get you' picture!
The Lord Has Risen!!
