He has Risen! Easter is Here!

Aidan got a movie in his basket left @ grammy's house this year. Rise of the Guardians. I hadn't seen it but heard it was great and couldn't wait to watch it with the kids.

During one scene of the movie, the boogie man comes and ruins an Easter egg hunt the Easter bunny put together. The Easter bunny gets mad and takes it out on Jack Frost. But it is what he said that made me think.

"Easter is about new beginnings, new life. Easter is about hope, and now, its gone."

Easter is about new beginnings, new life and hope....All things that represent God Almighty. Before I found the lord it was just another holiday I celebrated and found eggs and ate candy. But now, it is so much more than that and this Easter was a beautiful one for me.

Both the kids got bible's this year. Aidan got a devotional bible and skyler a prayers book. And they haven't left the house once yet without them in tow. My children are already finding and loving the lord. And you want to know the even more awesome part!? At my mother's house, the one person who was doubting our change in faith, my son and daughter got them to say grace with us before dinner. It was so touching. And my mom and dad everyone else at the table opened their hearts and without questions, said ok. My 6 year old son. My 6 year old son got my parents, 2 of the must unreligious people I know, to participate in a prayer. A prayer to god. And my son began the prayer. I was so touched I almost cried. It is amazing the things God can help us accomplish when we just open our eyes ears and hearts to him.

I hope you all had as much of a new Easter as we did. Full of new beginnings and hope. Amen!


Till next time bloggers, and god bless!
