He is Risen!

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. The found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, the did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. v5 The men said to the women, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!" Luke 24:1-3, 5

Hallejuah! Our saviour is risen. He conquered death. What a great thing to celebrate.

Our traditions for Easter are more focused on the great victory of Jesus. No bunny around here. We decorate eggs on Good Friday. Each child gets a new book. I wrap it and put it on their breakfast plate. (This year we had a small fire of wrapping paper burning on the table. That made things exciting. We had a candle lit and some of the tissue took right to that flame. No damage done.) We (with Caleb's help) hid plastic eggs in the play room for the children to find. Tess was a quick learner. Finding the eggs and putting them in the basket was great fun until one of them opened up and 2 jelly beans fell out. She of course ate them and realized there were greater things to do than find eggs. She planted herself in front of her basket and started opening all of her eggs. Score!!!

We usually get together with family for dinner but this year we had friends (the Myers family) over for a turkey dinner and all the trimmings. Yum! Yum!

Friends ~ Food ~ Fellowship ~ ~ FUN!!!
