Our Easter was far from picture perfect. Life is not picture perfect. Isn't that why the world needs a Savior? We serve a risen Savior, and that's why Easter is one of my very favorite holidays!
My sister and parents got to spend Easter with us this year. I'm so glad they were here. We went to an Easter egg hunt on Saturday morning, then it got rainy and cold for the rest of the weekend.
Miles got sick, and we didn't end up getting to go to church. So, we all got dressed up in our Easter duds & took pictures anyway (this was all for mommy & her love of tradition :-), then we crawled back into our pj's and watched Veggie Tales Easter Carol together.
I was pretty dissapointed we didn't get to go to church on Easter. That is one of my favorite services of the year - so full of joy! It made me realize that I don't have to wait until Easter Sunday to be filled with "Eastery" joy. After all - you might be sick on Easter Sunday, and then it's a whole 'nother year until the next... As a Christian, I can live in the power and joy of the resurrection every single day. Sure, the fun traditions and pretty clothes make it "feel" like Easter, but my Savior lives every single day, and that's where my joy needs to come from.
Happy Easter!
He lives, aren't you glad? :)
