Easter Blessings...

Spring is definitely in the air, and I'm in love. Spring is a beautiful picture of an awakening after a long sleepy, dark winter.It's a time to grow. Stretch. Thrive.It's a time for people to head outside. Soak up the sun. Enjoy the colors of Spring. And my are the colors beautiful!
What a wonderful time of year to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord! When everything is in bloom and full of life!! I was walking Kidd-o tonight and as I was pointing out flowers, trees, and birds I was reminded of the verse in Lamentations:

The LORD'S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease,

For His compassions never fail.

They are new every morning;

Great is Your faithfulness.

I hope that with each passing year I am faithful to teach my children why we celebrate Easter and that it is a mighty God we serve...

...and not so much about eggs and marshmallow peeps...even though they are fun.

I am thankful for our church home, and I am even more thankful that I have such a faithful group of godly ladies that I have the privilege calling my friends. We have a weekly playgroup that started as just a couple girls with one or two kiddos, and has quickly grown to 9 moms and 17 KIDDOS (when everyone is present)!!!!! This week I hosted the playdate and we had a great time of fellowship, the kids enjoyed a little egg hunt and we all enjoyed yummy cupcakes made by yours truly...

Happy Easter, dear reader! Rejoice! He's Alive! He is Risen!
