Easter 2011

Our family had a wonderful Easter weekend.  We started it off Friday with a trip to the nature center, dinner with our nanny Tiffany and her husband Dustin then all went to our church's Good Friday service.  It was wonderful!  Saturday we just hung out as a family!  Sunday we went to church in the morning and out to Ben's parents for Easter dinner.  This year Easter seemed to have much more meaning to me than ever before.  I don't know if it is because we now have a child and I understand more and more the sacrifice God made for us when he sent his son down to Earth for us to take away our sins.  We have also been studying Isaiah at BSF and the prophesy has come alive as we are studying the words of Isaiah prove true with the life and death of our Savior Jesus Christ.  I am so thankful for the sacrifice He made for me!  I pray that throughout the year I live as though it is Easter EVERY day and live with a spirit of praise for Him!   This verse really stood out to me this week and thought I would share: 

"Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him."  Isaiah 64:4

We also sang the song Glorious Day several times this past weekend and I love the words: 
Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He's coming Oh glorious day, Oh glorious day!!

Enjoy our pics!
