Deuteronomy 6:4-9

Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are are at home and when you are on the road, when your are going to bed and when your are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Resurrection Sunday

Well, spring has sprung as we can see evidenced in all of the growth and newness around us!  I don’t know about you but our Holy Week was a busy one.  We hosted a Passover Meal in our home with close friends and family which took a lot of prep work.  It turned out to be a VERY special occasion and a big shout out to Sydney and Holland for all of their hard work setting tables, ironing tablecloths, baking desserts, cutting fruit, peeling potatoes, and anything else I needed to make it all happen.  Due to the business of the whole week and evening, I have no pictures to prove that the event even took place!  But I assure you it did, I have my exhaustion the following day to prove it:)  In all seriousness, it was a special night shared with very special people.  What a great reminder of the price paid for our sins and the wonderful life to be found in knowing Jesus Christ.

We had the pleasure of having old friends spend the night and it was really great to catch up…once again, no pictures to prove it.  We have promised to not wait so long to see one another again, so I assure you the next time will come with pictures!!!

Resurrection Sunday was then spent as a family, just the 7 of us.  It was a nice quiet day of Easter egg hunting, roller blading, sitting outside, good food, relaxing, and celebrating our risen Savior. 

This time I grabbed my camera as I sat in the driveway or the backyard just watching my family enjoy the day.  Enjoy watching them with me…
