And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead" He is not here, but has risen." (Luke 24: 5-6)
We had a wonderful weekend celebrating our risen King. The greatest day in history was the day that Jesus defeated Satan, sin and death. We serve an amazing God and to Him be all the glory.
We went to the Good Friday service at our church. It was powerful. They showed some clips of the "Passion of the Christ" and wove in worship music throughout. Then our worship pastor spoke about the 3 emotions most people would be feeling while watching what Jesus went through on our behalf: grief, guilt, and gratitude.
On Friday afternoon we went to our neighbor's house for an Easter Egg hunt. The kids had a blast!
Then on Sunday our neighbors joined us at church and we heard the Good News. Easter Sunday is my favorite. The best celebration ever. Life changing.
We tried to take some family pictures before heading to church. Some turned out beautifully and I also decided to include some of the outtakes because they are a more realistic portrayal of our lives. (see above).
And some more outtakes.
I love my boys.
And this one (above) of Spencer trying to make it back to the picture before the timer went off.
Today we went down to the creek with the kids and let them run wild and free. I love seeing them toss rocks into the water, find sticks to use a fishing poles, and work together to cross the creek without getting soaked.
This guy is no longer content hanging out it Momma's arms. He wants to explore too!
And this morning we had our family Easter egg hunt.
Happy Easter from our family to yours!
