Easter

Easter: what an amazing holiday. Aside from all the festivities - who doesn't enjoy celebrating the day that Jesus was RISEN from the dead. Wow. We didn't get to a whole lot of easter fun around here in fact we didn't even decorate eggs but we did make sure that our kiddos know the real reason we celebrate Easter. I mean how could we forget  - Jesus was beaten and bruised for my sins and yours and died a brutal death only to be resurrected on the 3rd day to prepare a place for all those who believe in Him to join Him there someday.

We watched clips of the Passion of the Christ (the movie) at church on Sunday and I can't help from tearing up right now as it hurts me to think about the pain Jesus endured for me. He gave himself up for me because I am a Sinner and fall short of His glory (Romans 3:23). Yet He gives eternal life in heaven to those who believe in Him (John 3:16).

Wow. The gospel message is so powerful and it is alive to those who earnestly seek HIM.

Of course, so fun pics from our crazy weekend!
