we began our easter sunday with special worship at granmommie and poppie's church, followed by lunch with marmie and poppie, then dinner with the andersons and granmommie and poppie!! it was a very full, but very fun day! there were elmo easter baskets, baseball and golf games and a great easter egg hunt to top it all off.
this year, we had the privilege of sharing easter weekend with two special guests: andreas and daniel. these dear friends of ours came all the way from germany to visit! we had a great time with them and can't wait till there next visit!
above all, we rejoiced and celebrated together with grateful hearts the resurrection of our savior! it is because he lives that we live, and through faith in him can experience lives full of hope and joy. my favorite verse in the easter passage is this:
"HE HAS RISEN...HE IS NOT HERE!!" Mark 16:6
like no other god worshipped by man, our god rose from the dead. he is not found in a tomb, but is present with us daily and lives in our hearts!
not to be deterred, james our fearless eater shoveled dropped goods into his mouth via fingers
