Celebrating Easter

There is nothing like the faith of a child.

Tonight's prayer by Signe:

"Dear Jesus, thank you for mommy & daddy. Thank you saving me. Thank you for loving me. I miss you. Sorry you died. Amen"

Tonight's prayer by Linnea:

"Dear Jesus, thank you for mommy & daddy. Thank you for saving me. Loving me. And the angel that came too. Amen"

At this time of year, Easter, while we celebrate the cross and the sacrifice made on our behalf, when we think about our sins and that God loved us so much He sent his son. Whose ultimate gift to us would be the sacrifice of his life to save ours. That he might rise again, we rejoice and celebrate life.

To our sweet girls, as you can see from their prayers above, they are beginning to learn about how much our Lord loves us. And it is so precious to hear them talk about Jesus and start connecting the things they learn each sunday.

Not that they aren't also totally excited about the Easter 'goodies.' We started our Easter weekend by spending Good Friday with my in-laws. And L & S LOVED every moment of the treasure hunt that Grandma put together for them. This was a fun visit as it seemed like the girls were more open, playful and loving with Grandma and Grandpa - doing it on their own. Such big girls we have these days!

And today, well all they can think about and dream about is what's to come tomorrow. After an Easter egg hunt at preschool and MOPS, a treasure hunt with Grandma & Grandpa, the girls are anticipating great things from tomorrow!

Personally I am looking forward to Easter sunday service.

With all my heart I wish you and yours a very special Easter Sunday.

Blessings,
