But when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus....

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come! Revelation 4:8

Worthy are you, our Lord and God to receive glory and honor, and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created. Revelation 4:11

This will be our reality one day. Forever and ever and ever worshipping the only one worthy of complete and total adoration and we will NEVER get bored of it!!!! We will forever marvel with all the other saints!! How I long for this day. The new earth, where he will be our light, and we will sit at his table and he will serve us. wow!! So breathtaking to think on.

He could not be held in the grave. He rose and with it conquered sin and death and brought forth life and freedom to those who are in Christ.

Luke 24:6 a short verse but OH the power "he is not here, he is risen" thank you Jesus.

I hope that these next few days you will take time to remember and fall in love again with your Savior who loves you with reckless abandonment. I know I get caught up so easily with all kinds of things that should not have so much of my attention but I'm so thankful for his grace that draws me back. He wants our heart...go to Him..

 

Today the kids and I drew and colored pictures as I explained to them why we celebrate Easter and what happened to Christ after the cross. It was a blessing.

We started at the cross then an arrow to the tomb where Jesus's body was for three days, and finally an arrow to the tomb with "he is alive" and a cross above it.

Also, kind of on a different note we are really loving this book right now! We use it for our times of family worship together. It takes you through 78 Old Testament stories, and 87 New Testament. There are great questions for each story to ask your young ones afterwards that really helps them to engage. Sometimes it goes over Micaiah's head he is only 2, but addy is really loving it and understands a lot. She is four. If you have been looking for something to start as a family I would highly recommend it. It is written by Marty Machowski.

 

Happy Easter friends and family :) love you guys.
