Easter

Happy Easter! Well, it has been a pretty crummy day in terms of weather. It was pouring on our way to church this morning. We got soaked! Thankfully, we were able to drop Ali off at Ma and Pa's house before church. We still have not put her in childcare. Mainly because we have been concerned about her getting sick. So that means that I have only been able to stay in the service each Sunday for about 20 minutes. Ian and Lia went with us to "big" church this morning since Fellowship was having a special family service for Easter. Afterwards we stopped by Starbucks for a snack and then went to Ma and Pa's for lunch. The kids have definitely eaten way too much sugar and have been bouncing off the walls all afternoon.

What I have thought about most today is Hope. I can't imagine what my life would be like without Hope. Hope for today, Hope for tomorrow and Hope for Eternity. We sing this song quite often at church and it is one of my favorites. We sang it this morning and it is a perfect song for this Easter Sunday.

Mighty To Save

Everyone needs compassion,
Love that's never failing;
Let mercy fall on me.

Everyone needs forgiveness,
The kindness of a Saviour;
The Hope of nations.

Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save, He is Mighty to save.
Forever, Author of salvation, He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave.

So take me as You find me,
All my fears and failures,
Fill my life again.
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in,
Now I surrender.

My Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.
Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave.

Shine your light and let the whole world see,
We're singing for the glory of the risen King...Jesus

My Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save, He is Mighty to save.
Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave, Jesus conquered the grave.

I took these pictures of the kids yesterday when the weather was sunny and beautiful.

Great pics of the kiddos. I guess that giant-sized flower is suppose to "fill-in" until Ali gets hair -- RIGHT?????? Love you! Mom
