Easter

Easter is one of my very favorite times of the year for many reasons. I have many sweet memories of waking up super early to see what the Easter Bunny brought. (My parents SPOILED me...) I always had baskets full of fun treats. A couple of times my birthday fell on Easter and those days were super special for me. I loved to get dressed up and go to church, then have a big, yummy lunch with all of my family. Those are memories that I will never forget.

Of course, Easter has a greater meaning that I have always been aware of, but it seems to me that as I get older and strive to grow closer to my Savior, Easter's message speaks to me in greater and greater volumes. I am very guilty of taking advantage of the cross, and somehow forgetting the significance of Christ's blood. Friday afternoon Jim Walker played something on the radio that moved me to tears. I was reminded of what my Jesus did for me. I urge you to listen to the clip. Click on this website http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzto6khRp7w Please view this link...it speaks for itself. I PROMISE you won't be sorry. Happy Easter. May the love of Christ and what He did for us overwhelm you this special weekend.
