Easter

What a great day to celebrate with family and friends. "M" and here friends went on several Easter egg hunts. If she had her way this holiday would never end. She would look for eggs for the whole year. We color eggs and colored eggs good thing we like to eat hard boiled eggs and egg salad. As you can see in the pictures a rel bunny even came he was a real hit with the kids. The moms in our neighborhood area are so great.

I teach a Sunday school class and the kids are 3 and 4 and on Easter morning I started the lesson asking what is Easter? Well at that age you would expect to hear all about Easter baskets, bunnies, candies and egg hunts, but to my surprise the kids said it is not all about chocolate Easter bunnies it is about JESUS and him coming back from the tomb. My response was WOW did someone start my lesson early. I feel so blessed to work with kids both young and older (3rd grade) that have a strong presence of GOD in there life. What a great day.

We ended the day with a non traditional dinner a cookout with friends.

1 Peter 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead... (NIV)
