† Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen! -Luke 24:5-6 †

We cherish our Easter weekends so much—spending time in worship and with family. For it’s in Jesus we have hope and delight!

We rejoice in his life, his death, his RESURRECTION and the fulfillment of his ultimate promise to us: Eternal Life!

 † HALLELUJAH! He is Risen! †

Eli, for seven years we’ve hunted eggs. And yet this year, was the fastest we’ve had to do it ever! Rising early before work on Easter weekend we grabbed your basket and went out into the sunshine of our field—the birds chirped so loudly around us and it felt like magic! As is customary, I hid eggs first and then you hid them for me, but almost always they’re just sittin’ in plain sight. ♥ Especially this year since most our trees were missing after our Christmas Tree cutting season in December… Ha, you could see right underneath and through each one! Still, in the few minutes we had to run around that field, you made my heart smile so big and I love how much you adore our little traditions. Though your bunny hat sits high over your ears, you insisted on wearing it. I most definitely didn’t argue. I love you, Eli! My sweetest Easter Bunny.
