Easter CELEBRATION

This is one of the professional pictures we had taken of Jack. (Thanks Jen)

We enjoyed our Easter weekend and we hope you did too!  We enjoyed the chocolate bunnies, the Easter eggs, the Easter baskets, and the jellybeans (the Starburst ones are my favorite).  We also celebrated our Savior's death and resurrection.  We believe that God sent His only Son to die on the cross for our sins.  But Jesus did not stay in the tomb...He arose three days later, He walked on the Earth and continued ministering to people before He returned to Heaven.  Easter is a time of celebration...CELEBRATION of grace, sacrifice, faithfulness, and so much more.  Without God sending His only Son, we would not have life.  Matt and I both spent sometime this weekend discussing God's sacrifice, with our only son--I know that neither of us would be willing to part with him and watch him suffer and die.  I can hardly let him cry himself to sleep... but we are grateful for a God that loves us and cares for us, despite our selfishness.  We pray that you were able to CELEBRATE too!
