Easter

Easter is the perfect example of a paradox. "Good" Friday is the anniversary of my Savior's voluntary death for my sin. What a tragic day....a day of mourning. But then Resurrection Sunday is the celebration of my Savior conquering death, and offering me eternal life with Him. Wow. In all honesty, it's almost too much to take in and comprehend, so I don't really dwell on it too much. What a "holiday"!?!?

We did have a great Easter holiday this year. It was a great celebration with our family in Hutto. We continue to carry on the Lively Egg Hunt tradition....one that my Mamaw and Pawpaw started over 20 years ago for my cousins, sisters and me. And now, my parents do it for my children. It's awesome! And after enjoying great weather, good company and delicious food with my family, we came back home on Saturday night to be at church on Sunday morning. And it was an incredible Easter Sunday at Brazos Fellowship. We had over 1,000 in attendance and 16 decisions for Christ! Twelve more souls saved for eternity?!?! Isn't that awesome! That beats hunting eggs any day!

Looking at these pictures.....wow. Sometimes I am almost embarrassed to be so abundantly blessed. And I don't mean that in a prideful way, but in an overwhelmingly humbled and grateful way . My life overflows with love, joy and laughter. Thank you God.
