Easter?


We woke up to THIS! ACK! A foot of snow! My girls are looking forward to wearing their fancy Easter dresses and sandals to church tomorrow. Hmmmm....I think they might have to wear boots instead.

Christ's death and resurrection are what this holiday is all about anyway. Sometimes when I do not understand the circumstances in my life, I remember how hopeless these days must have seemed to Jesus' disciples and friends. They surely were grieving and unable to make any sense out of His horrific death. They didn't know that this was THE PLAN...the only way of salvation for all of humanity. In a few days time, the PLAN was revealed and THEN...what JOY they must have felt when they began to realize that His plan was so much bigger than they could ever have imagined! He didn't come just to save a few--but to save all who would respond, for the rest of time.
Thank you, Jesus, for your amazing gift of salvation and for adopting us as daughters and sons of the King of Kings.
