I love Easter! Such a fun time of year! Love that Spring is here (even though sometimes, it doesn't feel like it yet!)... Love the time spent together as a family... Love dying eggs and trying to beat Lisa's dye job (Ha!)... Love watching the kids hunt eggs. It's another holiday that I loved as a kid and one that I want to make special for my own three favorite people! However, as a child, I never fully grasped what Easter was all about. I knew we were remembering that Jesus died on the cross and celebrating the fact that He had risen from the dead... but I never really, truly understood what all it meant. The older I get, the more emotional I get about what the Easter holiday really means. I sit here and could just cry when I think about all that happened on this weekend. The thought of Jesus carrying the cross on his back...Being nailed to that same wooden cross...suffering and dying...for me... for my husband... for my kids... for my parents & sisters. Doing it for all of those who believe in Him... Doing it so we could live forever with Him. It's just overwhelms me to think about His journey. And it brings such a peace to think about the fact that when the day comes that I am no longer here... I know where I will be. And because of Him, I will be able to spend eternity in Heaven with all of those I love. All because He chose to die for me. Yes, the older I get, the more I come to truly understand the price He paid for me. What a blessing to truly understand the story!
