HE IS RISEN INDEED!

HE IS RISEN!!!!

This EASTER was one of the best in a long time and i can't wait to tell you about it.

We attended church service on Saturday this year. I am so thankful we have a Saturday service as an option. Both my children had to work on Easter Sunday. My son requested Saturday off and met us at church where we heard a wonderful message.

We also heard a fantastic testimony from a young man who gave his life to Christ after being arrested with a DUI and jailed resulting in his license being taken away. He recounted how after getting out of high school how the party life was all consuming to him and the consequences that led to his DUI. He also had a job with no way to get there. An uncle drove him to work which he found strange at the time. His uncle was a heroin addict for 25 years. He told him he gave his life to Christ and he was INSTANTLY clean of his addiction and had NO withdrawal. He said he knew it was true because it was the first time ever seeing his uncle with clear eyes. I just love when the body testifies what Christ has done. It is so important to declare publicly what Christ has done for us. Miracles do still happen. I believe that with all my heart. God used that uncles miracle to testify to that nephew in order to help him believe. This is Sunday's service and a little different from Saturday.

It was so special to have my son with us. He dressed up and looked so handsome. I should have taken a picture of us with his phone and thought of it later. ugh. Why do us mom's like to see our son's dressed up? I don't know it just does something for us. Then to top it off we went to Olive Garden with the gift card he gave me for my birthday and we had a wonderful dinner together. He was unrushed and sat with us right to the end. Time spent like this doesn't happen everyday and this Easter will be remembered forever. He has been all excited about getting a promotion with his company and has a plan discussed with this manager on how to move up the ladder. We are so happy for him.



My daughter was ill Saturday but came over Sunday evening and we spent a little time together with her and her boyfriend and the little guy. He is pulling himself up on things now so we got him a little shopping cart walker. It's got a little basket in the front and lights that plays songs that actually don't get on your nerves.



Earlier that day we had our big meal at my mom's. My brother, my sister and her husband, her daughter and her husband and their two kids, one in first grade and one in kindergarten, both just as fun as they come. I spent the day on the couch from a virus and could not eat but being together was special nonetheless.

I hope you all had a blessed Easter. We worship the RISEN CHRIST!
