We had a great Easter weekend. We spent Good Friday together as a family and snuck off to Eugene to get Trey's birthday present. I'm trying to have his party all in order before Brohdy gets here. His theme is going to be so much fun and I'm looking forward to sharing pictures with you all. :)
We did the usual Easter festivities of dying Easter eggs, baking, cooking and eating with the family. It was a fun filled weekend of appreciating what Jesus did for us! This a small excerpt from the book "Heaven is For Real" by Todd Burpo. "When I was a kid, I always wondered why the cross, Jesus' crucifixion, was a big deal. If God the Father knew he was going to raise his Son from the dead, how was that a sacrifice? But now I understand why God doesn't view Easter as just the endgame, just the empty tomb. I understand completely. I would've done anything, anything, to stop Coltons* suffering, including trading places with him. The scripture says that as Jesus gave up his spirit, as he sagged there, lifeless on the Roman cross, God the Father turned his back. I am convinced that he did that because if he had kept on watching, he couldn't have gone through with it." *Colton is the authors 4 year old son who was very sick and nearly died
The yummy ham that I made before it went into the oven
Handy Manny!
