Easter

What a great celebration Easter was this year. There are several things that I really love about Easter, besides the fact that it marks the most significant event in history- Jesus' resurrection.
I love walking into church and seeing all the pretty pastels and flowing dresses, coming home after church and sitting down to a meal with extended family, and taking tons of photos of my kids as they play and enjoy life. I missed the sermon today but I got to experience something that probably drew me even closer to God than a sermon could. I got to watch my son's peaceful face as he dozed in a swing for almost an hour. He and I were the only ones in the room and there was nothing else to do but gaze at him, not that I wanted to do anything else.
My children remind me every day of God's love, and the perfect beauty we will enjoy in Heaven one day.

When I sit and look at Todd I just can't help but smile and overwhelmed with love. Don't you think God is the same way when he looks at all of His children! Happy Easter!
