Easter

This past weekend was a celebration of God's greatest gift to us, His Son, Jesus.  He gave up His only Son as a sacrifice for our sins.  Wow.  He loves us that much.  Could I love people enough to give up one of my children's lives for their souls?  Fortunately our God, who loves us more than enough, did.  He did it so we wouldn't have to.  He sent His Son so that we could live forever with Him in heaven.  In fellowship with our Creator.  Can we even imagine the true extent of that sacrifice? 

We drove to Austin on Saturday for Micah's twin nephew's third birthday party.  It was a blast!  Katherine and Lillie had so much fun playing with all their little cousins.  The weather was perfect and the fellowship of family was wonderful. 
Easter Sunday we woke up and has a yummy pancake breakfast.  We got to spend some special time with Micah's mom and all enjoyed watching Katie, Lillie, and the twins search for eggs in the backyard easter egg hunt.  Lillie was a little hesitant in searching for eggs.  She liked the idea of carrying her "purse" around while Katie just wanted to get one egg at a time and eat the yummy treat inside before she went on to the next treasure. 

It was a wonderful weekend filled with laughter, celebration and memories made.  Thank you Father for forgiveness of sins and the sacrifice of your Son.
