A Blessed Easter


Today we mark and remember the day that our Savior conquered death and sin. We sang this song in church today and I thought the words were so perfect.

He Lives

I serve a risen Savior, He's in the world today;
I know that He is living, whatever people say;
I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer,
And just the time I need Him, He's always near.

He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me and talks with me Along life's narrow way.
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my heart.

In all the world around me I see His loving care,
And tho my heart grows weary, I never will despair;
I know that He is leading through all the stormy blast,
The day of His appearing will come at last.

He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me and talks with me Along lifes narrow way.
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my heart.


We stood at Annette's grave on Friday. We rejoice that she is not there, but in Heaven, celebrating the full reward of Easter. We know we will join her and Mom again someday.
But even more, we rejoice in the full joy of Easter. I pray you will also be blessed this Easter with God's grace and salvation.

Your family is amazing! (and this is one of the coolest pictures I have ever seen!) I'm sure Annette was all smiles watching you on this day and so grateful knowing you have some peace in the knowledge that she is in heaven with the Lord. Happy belated Easter! Many blessings and (((hugs))))
