We did Easter baskets. Went to church. Had a great lunch with our awesome families! It was so nice! We got a bunny- look how cute-
But really, Easter is so much more than just another time to get candy or have everyone together for a family meal.
It's JESUS!!
My Savior..... He's so precious to me. He died a brutal death for no other reason than because He loves us!! How beautiful and humbling that is to know! But it's not just that He died for me but that He rose again!!! He did not stay in that grave! He's alive and He wants a relationship with us!!!
I honestly can't truly wrap my mind around the meaning of this day. To sit here and really think about it floors me. I look at my life and think how could someone love me, ME, so much that He died for me? I'm not even worthy of that. I know the person I am. I know my heart and my thoughts and they aren't pretty most of the time. But Jesus loves me anyway- with all my imperfections.
Wow-
Thank you, Jesus. I just get all giddy thinking about how amazing the whole story is and that's its still being written!!
I think the words to "Oh Glorious Day" by Casting Crowns speaks volumes about how great this love story is!
One day when Heaven was filled with His praises
One day when sin was as black as could be
Jesus came forth to be born of a Virgin
Dwelt among men, my example is He
Word became flesh and the light shined among us
His glory revealed
Living He loved me, dying He saved me
And buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He justified freely forever
One day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious day
One day they led Him up Calvary's mountain
One day they nailed Him to die on a tree
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He
Hands that healed nations, stretched out on a tree
And took the nails for me
'Cause living He loved me, dying He saved me
And buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He justified freely forever
One day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious day
One day the grave could conceal Him no longer
One day the stone rolled away from the door
Then He arose, over death He had conquered
Now He's ascended, my Lord evermore
Death could not hold Him
The grave could not keep Him from rising again
Living He loved me, dying He saved me
And buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He justified freely forever
One day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious day
Glorious day
One day the trumpet will sound for His coming
One day the skies with His glories will shine
Wonderful day, my beloved one bringing
My Savior Jesus is mine
Living He loved me, dying He saved me
And buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He justified freely forever
One day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious day
Glorious day, oh, glorious day
One day when sin was as black as could be
Jesus came forth to be born of a Virgin
Dwelt among men, my example is He
Word became flesh and the light shined among us
His glory revealed
Living He loved me, dying He saved me
And buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He justified freely forever
One day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious day
One day they led Him up Calvary's mountain
One day they nailed Him to die on a tree
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He
Hands that healed nations, stretched out on a tree
And took the nails for me
'Cause living He loved me, dying He saved me
And buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He justified freely forever
One day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious day
One day the grave could conceal Him no longer
One day the stone rolled away from the door
Then He arose, over death He had conquered
Now He's ascended, my Lord evermore
Death could not hold Him
The grave could not keep Him from rising again
Living He loved me, dying He saved me
And buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He justified freely forever
One day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious day
Glorious day
One day the trumpet will sound for His coming
One day the skies with His glories will shine
Wonderful day, my beloved one bringing
My Savior Jesus is mine
Living He loved me, dying He saved me
And buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He justified freely forever
One day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious day
Glorious day, oh, glorious day
How great are the words to this song? Ahhhh!!! It gives me chills and makes me want to stand shout, "Praise God!!" :) They sand it in church this morning and I could hardly contain myself!
God is just good. He is good, He is good, He is good!
On another note- we went to a friends farm last week and here are a few pictures of all the fun we had!! Makes me want a farm of our own!!
