Easter Sunday!

Easter Sunday!

This holiday seems to have so many great memories for me and it is my favorite. The spring morning with the birds singing and the flowers blooming everything seems new and it reminds me that God gave us new life through His Son! Easter sunrise mornings from my childhood are so special. The early cool morning and singing those old hymns, I stood beside family and saw the cross, and heard the simple message of Jesus dying on the cross and now he is risen. After the service Dad would let me drive and we would look at old houses or he would share memories with me of his childhood and the house he lived in. The food later in the day at Granddaddy's with our family, the charcoal grill smoking with so many burgers and hotdogs, and ending the day with kites on the church lawn. Great memories! I hope my children are able to have wonderful memories of Easter as well, and always remember the true meaning of Easter!
