Easter Blessings

April 20, 2014 by Aliesha

We had a beautiful Resurrection Day celebration today, and we hope that you did too!

Our pastor spoke on how Jesus is the true and better temple.  It was a great sermon!

Hebrews 9:11-12, “But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption” (emphasis mine).

I enjoyed preparing a nice meal for our family (and we’re all still a little stuffed from it!).  I think the girls ate as much food as I did!

Jude was smiley and sweet on his first Easter!

Instead of doing Easter baskets this year, we focused more on reading books about the true meaning of Easter and opening our Resurrection eggs each day leading up until Easter.  Vera is at an age where adding candy to a holiday quickly transforms its meaning to be candy-centric rather than Jesus-centric.  So candy this year was very, very minimal.  ðŸ™‚

We sang this song at worship this morning, and I love it!  Listen to it today if you have time.

Happy Resurrection Sunday!

Just the Girls

April 14, 2014 by Aliesha

Yesterday morning I asked Tad if he’d take some photos of “just the girls” before church.

Vera wanted me to take her picture in the rocking chair first.

My, what big blue eyes she has!

Of course Cordelia Mae wanted her picture taken too!  She picked out her (my) scarf to wear also.

I love my sweet, sweet girls!

Thankful for relaxing Sundays and the opportunity to go and worship together as a family!

Carousel

April 8, 2014 by Aliesha

On Saturday, we met my family “in the middle” between our two cities at a beautiful community park.  The weather was absolutely amazing, and we enjoyed a picnic lunch, a fun playground, rides, and lots of laughs!

Vera loved riding the carousel.

Cordelia wasn’t as sure, but she did ride it once.

I also took some pictures with my cell phone.

Jude liked seeing his Uncle Nich.

The boats were very popular!

Vera told us that it was her “favorite day!”
