Happy Easter 2011

We had a wonderful Easter this year. We stayed home...made He is Risen rolls, soaked in the resurrection of Christ, worshiped as a family, watched our kids fight over eggs on their Easter egg hunt, and then caught the twins, together, quietly eating everyone's candy & it's wrappers. 

A quote I love from Nicole Johnson,

"So we hold this hope: Christ dies for us-therefore we can live. His death for our sin lifts our hearts out of the mire of guilt. His resurrection from death resurrects our spirits to eternal life. This truth is what floats. This is the hope that refuses to be submerged. It will not be held down for long by the oppression of despair. It will come bobbing to the surface, giving us something to hold on to above water, keeping us from going under, This is irrepressible hope."

Jesus said just before he faced the cross,

John 16:33 “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Happy Easter!
