Happy Easter!

Posted in Show N Tell

Well today is Good Friday, a day that our Savior died on the cross for all of our yuck!  I'm going to be Mary (mother of Jesus) tonight in our Good Friday Service.  As I read my part it strikes me how terrible this had to be for her.  Imagine your innocent son on a cross suffering an unimaginable death!  I truly can't comprehend how terrible this was for her and yet in the midst of his agony he was concerned for her, he wanted her taken care of.  That wonderful love between a mother and son!  Praise God we have three days later on Easter when he AROSE and we truly know Yes, He is the Son of God.  Thank you Jesus for paying a debt you didn't have to pay for such undeserving people.  This gets me to my show n tell.

      

As my regular readers know my mother in law passed in January.  I can't tell you how much I miss her; it has truly been the hardest thing I have ever endured.  She was a firm believer and I know she is happier then ever but I struggle a great deal, I can't believe she isn't here anymore, she really isn't.  She had a way of making every holiday so special and with Easter coming up my husband and I am especially having a hard time.  She made all of her grandkids Easter baskets when they were born, when they went to her house after church she would have the baskets out on the table filled with goodies.  This year they will get those baskets from us, something to help them remember and celebrate what she has given them.  My oldest son said today, Gee lives on here and pointed to his heart and I said yes, she does.  She will always be a part of you, always!  I wanted to show the baskets she made with her loving hands, please pray for us as we continue to adjust. 

      

Praise God for Easter, because of the death and resurrection we will see Gee again and when that day comes, we will never part ways again!  Thank you Jesus for that, what an amazing gift!

Very nice baskets! So creative.

I was going to ask my DS if he wanted to watch the Passion with me today, but I decided against it. I saw it in the theaters and was, of course, moved to tears. But I just don't think I can go through that again. Christ died "once" for all. I think once is enough with the Passion, too.

I never realized she made those baskets and gave them the same ones each year, what a great tradition and wonderful way to remember her. This touched me very much. It's so sweet, each of those baskets are so lovely and it's something the kids will always treasure.
