"So I commend the enjoyment of life, because nothing is better for a man under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany him in his work all the days of the life God has given him under the sun." Ecclesiastes 8:15

Easter Weekend

We had a great Easter weekend celebrating with family.  And what a reason to celebrate; that Jesus did not stay dead after he was crucified on the cross, but he has risen!  The foundation of our faith and the reason for our joy.  Our church puts together a devotional book during the time of Lent.  This year we went through the book of Mark, and each day's devotional was written by a different church member.  These are always such a blessing to me, to read through the story leading up to Easter, and to learn from the insights of fellow believers.

Lyle told me he thought Peter Cottontail was going to hide the eggs for the egg hunt!

They LOVED it this year!
