Easter

What a great Easter we had! My day started out just perfect, as Jayce rushed into my room to tell me that he had found the basket the Easter bunny had left him. He was super excited, but then said "mom, you know what? The Easter basket is great and all, but do you know the most important part about Easter? It's that Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sins!" Wow, now that's good coming from the mouth of my 5 year old! I am so thankful to have a child who loves Jesus so much already! Then, on our way to church, Gabe says so sweetly to me out of the blue "You look so pretty mommy!" I melted.
Then we went to church and were reminded of the awesome sacrifice my Savior made for me on the cross, to pay for my sins, to love me, a sinner so much... I am always so moved. Most importantly I am overjoyed on Easter to know that because I have trusted Him as my personal Savior, and he ROSE from the grave and now LIVES, I too will live eternally! This hope brings me more joy than anything else in the world ever could. It is where I find my purpose in life, to live to serve and aim to honor Jesus Christ, to share him with others! I LOVE Easter day as I celebrate His resurrection!
We had a fantastic day with the family... big lunch at Nanny's and Easter egg hunt with the kids! Then we went for our regular golf cart ride to visit all the animals! These memories I will always cherish.
