I love Easter! I love Easter not only for the family time, and the good food, or all the goodies and candy. I love Easter because I know that my Savior is ALIVE! He died for my sins. I most certainly did not deserve it. Did any of us really deserve that??? But, hallelujah He didn't stay in the grave! It is so comforting to know that I can go to Him at anytime, morning, noon or night and He is there listening to me. He hears me when I am on the mountaintop, and He hears me when I have hit rock bottom. How do I know this??? I know this because my God rose from the dead! That is what Easter is all about!
We went to the early service and it was amazing to see the many people that were there! We were 2 away from having 500 people! So exciting! Pastor Mike preached a wonderful message. God really spoke through him. It was so neat to hear the testomonies of "modern day" Bible characters. After the service, we dashed home because I knew there were potatoes waiting to be baked, cheese to be sliced, rolls to be risen, and ham to be sliced. My family came over for lunch. It was a wonderful time together. I handed out Easter baskets full of treats, candy, and trinkets. My family even surprised me with one. :) After lunch, what do you think came next????? Well, after the unbutton-ing of the pants because of being sooooo full......next came the much needed Sunday nap!!!! We slept for a good 3 hours, and it was time to go to church again. This time, my in-laws were meeting us there. They went back to New York the next day. After church, they took us to get some dinner and AMAZING hawaiian shaved ice at Dairy Dream in Albany. We had a good time.
As I think about what I have learned this Easter, I learned all over again how much my God loves me. That is something that I forget easily. I mess up so many times it seems like, and fail at so many things, and I wonder how anybody, let alone... someone so perfect, could love someone like me. I learned that God rose again for me and for you. He loved us so much. Now that is unconditional love!
