Happy Easter! Oh, what a day to celebrate! It is so much 'more' than bunnies, and chocolate...isn't it? Consider--An empty tomb--we CeLebRatE because Jesus defeated death.
This Truth gives us a way to be reconciled to God--the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. The Creator of the Universe--yet lover of my very soul.
Our family celebrated together today. Alayna, her family & Holly met us at "our" church this morning. I love that our whole family was able to worship together in the same place. We do not get to do that each week, as we once did, so today I am truly thankful to sing praise songs with the voices of my kids singing loudly beside me! Especially, Ally's sweet four year old voice, even though she may not have gotten all the words in the right order--the heart was certainly 'there'!!!
After a loud/eventful meal, (remember there are 10 of us, and everyone talks at once) it was time for the "littles" to hunt for eggs....It was warm enough that they could go outside with bare feet--so they did.
While they opened the eggs to find the treasures, the we had a long discussion about hopes & plans for our collective futures...and then at Will & Ally's request some of us played a spirited game of LIFE--hilarious--(while the baby slept).
The perfect end to the day--leftovers in front of the TV version of Disney's Beauty & the Beast...this movie has been a family favorite since before the twins were born!
We are so blessed to celebrate in freedom and enjoy time with all our kids.
