Blessed Easter Memories

This was always my Daddy's favorite holiday. we always had an Egg coloring party at his house and then after church we had an easter egg hunt. OK we had 2 of them. The first was for the small kiddo's but the second was for his kids and the grown grandkids. It was so much fun. We got the be kids again. He would hide the eggs for momma and us kids ( and  some of us grandparents ourselves by then)  and we would hunt eggs with him calling warmer -hot -cold as we looked for eggs. He would put little things in plastic eggs for us as prizes. Boy I miss my daddy, but I know that someday I will see him again.

I wasn't going to have anything here this year because my precious Tif can't drive 6 hours to get here and i really haven't felt like anything but the other kids were so dissapointed that we would not have any thing. Jessica said it just won't be like Easter if we don't and then I remembered how much I looked forward to my daddy doing this for us even as an adult. After all we would have made things nice for the little one even if he had not done this. Nope this was something he did for his "kids" So I am going to "do" easter here.And we will probably have an egg hunt for the "kids" after the little one are done.

Thank God for my Daddy

Dear Lord

Thank You that You prepared a home for us. Thank You for our Precious Savior who gave His life that we might live. Thank You that my Daddy will be there when I get there.

Amen

 

 

On this day, April 13, 1743, the 3rd U.S. President was born. He approved the Louisiana Purchase and commissioned Lewis and Clark to explore it. Best known for drafting the Declaration of Independence, he was also Governor of Virginia. His name was Thomas Jefferson. Inscribed on the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C., is Thomas Jefferson's statement: "Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the Gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever."
