Happy Easter!

Brant took his egg hunting very seriously this year!He didn't want the egg; he just wanted up! I don't think he was very interested in the egg hunt.
Beckett got one!

Beckett just choosing to step over the egg. Who needs it anyways? Can you tell who got the most eggs?

Not easy getting them all to look and smile! The boys with their little cousin!

Handsome man!

Getting a picture of both of them together is very tricky!

Sweet Beckett!

We had a wonderful time celebrating Easter with family. The boys enjoyed multiple Easter egg hunts...Well, Brant loved hunting for eggs; Beckett really didn't see the point in it! He just tended to walk right by even the most obvious egg. Ha! We had yummy food and good fellowship. But really, we know that Easter is not about the bunnies, the plastic eggs, or the fancy new clothes. We enjoy having fun as a family and watching the kids' activities. We enjoy good visiting and yummy treats. But for us, as Christians, Easter is much bigger. It is to celebrate our risen King. I do not know how I would go through this life on this earth without the hope I have in Christ. Without my comfort in the cross. My comfort in knowing that Jesus suffered on the cross, felt on the sufferings of this earth, so that I could spend forever worshiping God in heaven. My hope in knowing that I have a Jesus as my Savior. My comfort in knowing I do not have to fight the battles of this earth alone. And my comfort knowing that the struggles on this earth are temporary, and that glory in Heaven is eternal.

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 12:9

Thank you God for sending your Son to die on the cross to save me so that I can spend eternity in heaven with you. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for the hope I can have in knowing Christ as my Savior. I am so thankful that this world is not my home.

I absolutely love this song and the message of it. Praise be to our God who is mighty to save.

Mighty to Save by Hillsong

My Saviour, He can move the mountains,

My God is Mighty to save,

He is Mighty to save.

Forever, Author of salvation,

He rose and conquered the grave,

Jesus conquered the grave.

Shine your light and let the whole world see,

We're singing for the glory of the risen King...Jesus
