Happy Easter

from the Little Wrights!

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?” But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen!
(Mark 16: 1-6)

It’s such a joy to celebrate this special day with these special Little People!

We ♥ them.  Lots.

And we ♥ sharing the good news of Jesus with them.  It is such an honor.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. (1 Peter 1:3)

Before heading to church we had a full morning of revelries…

with our Resurrection Eggs

and our family bible-story time

Followed by a “fancy” brunch

(read: sugar! syrup! bacon! oh my!)

and then everyone’s favorite,

the Easter egg hunt!

Jesus is Risen!

Hallelujah!

Father, let Your kingdom come!

(With a link to my favorite worship song from Easter service at Christ Central Church. It just makes me want to jump and dance for JOY!)
