HE is risen!


We had a very nice Easter last month. We served at church off and on all weekend, dyed eggs, did two hunts and had our friend Jenny and her two girls over for a yummy dinner of bbq'd ham.

For me, the best part of Easter came while the monkeys were playing in the backyard. Carter came in the house and told me I had to "come see!" And when I got outside I found this...

All three of them were playing in Carter's sandbox and had created a depiction of the tomb that Jesus' body was laid in after His crucifixion...the stone rolled away and the tomb empty. Em and Trev had coached Carter to say "He is risen!!!"

It was awesome to see the kids, totally unprompted, focused on what Easter REALLY means!
