The resurrection changes everything.
“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart: yet no one can fathom what God has done from the beginning to the end.”
-Ecclesiastes 1:11
Our Easter from beginning to end:
Brad woke up early to make 400 breakfast burritos with the guys at church. Then we met him before church in our coordinating outfits. Obviously.
This was a special day for our family because Cora Jane chose to be baptized.
This girl knows the Spirit.
Her prayers are honest, bold and reverent.
She was ready to be baptized.
And we couldn’t be more proud!
Then we hopped home to see if the Easter Bunny came.
He did.
The Easter Bunny doesn’t cut corners around at our house.
Easter is a big day for us Christians. It’s the day that changes everything. We base our lives on the reality of this day. Brad and I have always wanted our children to be more excited, or at least, just as excited about Easter as they are about Christmas. A few years ago we brainstormed a bit and picked out a few things that make Christmas so exciting for the kids… fun food, traditions, and of course… presents!
A few of the favorite gifts were a real bow and arrow… (Bear Archery Scout Bow Set)
And Pie Face Game…
We made these lovely cupcakes this Watermelon Cupcake Mix! They taste just like a jolly rancher.
We closed out the day with dinner and great conversations with family.
It was a good day.
We live because He died.
