Easter

We had such a nice Easter this year.  The sun finally came out after days of rain.  We met at church then we had brunch at Kim's.  My boys and Hannah were at church with us.  Rylan went to her church with her family.  I was able to catch up with Rylan later in the day so my heart was full seeing Jay, Hannah, Nick and Rylan.  The picture above is mom talking to Jay about all things happening at L.O.  

Kim and Hannah!  I just love Hannah!  She's been a part of our family now for just over a year and we all just adore her.  

I always invite Uncle Steve to our family get togethers.  He never says No.  I am thankful for relationships with extended family.  John and Judy are still in Florida but are slated to come home in early May.  

Nana and her grands minus Nick.  After church Nick went with Rylan to her familys gathering.  This morning as I got up I was reminded that God's mercies are new every morning (thank God for that) and the song, "Thank you Jesus for the blood" keeps going through my head.  The older I get the more I realize I am such a wretch.  I will keep running my race until the day I see Jesus face to face.  Thank you Lord for the gift of eternal life, thank you for making a way.  One day when I stand before God and he asks me why I should be let into heaven, it will have nothing to do with anything I did but all because of the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross.  If you ask me that alone is a reason to celebrate and worship our Lord and Savior each and everyday.
