Easter

After the fun day of church, candy and egg hunt at church, then to friends house for lots of fun, food, friends, another egg hunt and lots of candy, then home to an Easter basket and more candy and little prizes, Liliana looks up at me from the living room floor and looks right into my eyes and says what she often says after she recieves a gift or has a fun day....

"Mommy, you know what was my favorite part about today... You and Daddy and Noah and Baby Elia and God!"



Priceless!

Good Friday Egg Hunt

Jack, Will, Nick, Alley, Liliana, Nkailu and Noah is running arounds somewhere. :o)
We had a small egg hunt with some friends at Bethany Groves house. It is so sweet watching all of them grow up in church together. What a wonderful blessing!

A Most Favorite Time of the Year

I LOVE EASTER TIME. For me as a Lover of Jesus it is the most joyous time of the year! Yes, it is sad to watch what our Jesus went through for our redemption and it is good to have those moments of reflection and heartfelt sorrow for what our PRECIOUS, PURE, INNOCENT, PERFECT, TENDER, SWEET, SWEET JESUS had to go through :o(, but I reside where He is now - rejoicing with us that IT IS FINISHED and our salvation is paid in full and there is nothing in this world that we have to do to earn God's love, grace and forgiveness, but to recieve, rejoice and bask in His amazing LOVE FOR US and fall in love with Him the way He is so in love with us!

Dear Jesus,
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.......................................
I am so in love with you and am amazed by your PERFECT unfailing limitless, unconditional love for us. Thank you that you simply love us... you love me.... not the good parts of me, you love all of me, shortcomings and all, you love me and you embrace me and you are not ashamed or afraid or disgusted or frustrated by the imperfections of me, but you love me and it is that love that sets me free to be all that you created me to be. :o) I love you! Help me to always walk in the light of your boundless love for me and for everyone around me. May I be an unhindered vessel of your love my Precious Jesus. :o)
Amen :o)

L&N's First Easter Egg Hunt

Today Liliana and Noah had their first Easter Egg Hunt. It was at the grounds where we live. They had a good time. Liliana was just stuck on her first egg. She kept asking me to open it and I kept encouraging her to pick up more. So cute!!! I love her innocence - how everything is so new and things like the easter bunny are not yet common knowledge. I love it! There is nothing in the world like spending time with your children and teaching them new things! BTW - I don't waste my time teaching her about the easter bunny... he is pointless... we do love bunnies though & Jesus - the real reason to celebrate Easter! :o)

Liliana looks tired - we have been busy with the Passion of the King. Here she is asking me to open the one egg she found. Look in her basket... the jelly beans are ones that she picked up one by one off the ground from an opened egg. So sweet!!! She took a big, cozy nap today! :o)

Noah left a little evidence of the chocolate donut hole he had from the easter egg hunt gathering. This is our back yard.
