Another Easter, another reminder to praise God for the gift of His Son's sacrifice, the ultimate sacrifice that saved us from our sins. That truth alone gives us cause to rejoice every day, but on this day there is abundantly more to be thankful for. Here's just a few of our reasons to give thanks this Easter...
Celebrating Mass as a family at our gorgeous Cathedral and receiving the real Body and Blood of our Risen Lord! Nothing can top that.
Learning to love like Christ loved with this holy, handsome husband...
A visit from Paul's holy and helpful mom (a.k.a. "Grandma Jean")....
An Easter egg hunt in "the Treasure State" with treasured friends...
Easter morning surprises from Grandma...
Decorating Eggs and finding them Easter morning...
Resurrection rolls to remind us that "He has risen, just as He said!" (Matthew 28:6)
Yes, He has risen and by his stripes we are healed of our sins! There is no greater gift. Choosing to accept that gift and to live a life of gratitude for that gift every single day (yes, in all circumstances) is the real meaning of Easter for me. Easter is full of so many truths and paradoxes: Suffering leads to joy, death leads to life, and the cross leads to the crown. I pray I can better understand and live these Easter truths this year and pass them on to my children all year through! A happy and holy Easter to all of you!
