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

 † HALLELUJAH! He is Risen Indeed! †

Eleven. It’s been Eleven happy years with this sweet kiddo, who’s always up for our annual Egg Hunt. Just me and E.

Over the years, it’s truly become so much more than a fun time seeking eggs, hidden among the trees.  Though is it gobs of fun, yes, it’s impossible not to marvel at the signs of new life we see in our field, in the new growth and height of our trees, and in the comparisons we see too in my growing, young boy and his endlessly long legs! On this day, as it’s been our tradition since Eli’s first Easter, we spend intentional time in reflection of HIM and in the fulfillment of His promise. We remember that hope springs eternal and we use today as our reminder that no matter what we face, Jesus has already conquered it: “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” -1 Corinthians 15:55

Somehow they both (the tree + Eli) continually shoot up higher and higher each year. I marvel at this too. ♥

My most favorite somebunny ever.

Today is not really about bunnies or candy or eggs. Though we’ll enjoy those sweet things too.

Today: We remember that Jesus is truth. He is light. And He is love. But best of all: He is Risen! 

Happiest Easter to you, my sweet forever-bunny. ♥ And to all of you too! xx S , J, + E.
