Easter 2014

Easter...What a wonderful Day! The Old Rugged cross to the Empty Tomb where Christ demonstrated ultimate love and sacrifice to bear the burden of our sin so that He might pay the penalty for our sin and allow us to be restored in relationship to our Creator and Father for all eternity...Now that's Joy and that's Hope!! Hard to put words to that! It's interesting explaining that to a 3 1/2 year old who is already bombarded with the Easter Bunny and Eggs...I have no problem with those except if they take the place of Easter's real meaning. It was interesting surveying friends on how they teach the meaning of Easter to their children. We kept it simple and taught Claire 2 songs and read the Easter story from her Bible to her as Easter approached. Jeff and I traded off going to the Good Friday Services (Same service done Thurs night and Fri noon) and enjoyed the worship on Easter Sunday morning. I enjoyed personal worship especially when this song was sung in the Remembrance Service. One of my favorites! When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ my God! All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. See from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all. We did have some fun on Sun afternoon hiding and hunting eggs with neighbors and looking cute of course. Enjoy some photos and video of Easter.
