Happy Resurrection Sunday!
Matthew 28:1-10
After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary
Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a
violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and,
going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance
was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were
so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."
Praise God for His son Jesus Christ. Who came to earth to live as one of us, and then die for all of us. I am not one that likes commercial holiday's. I think we should be celebrating the resurrection of our Savior everyday, because that is what living by faith is, living in the knowledge that Jesus Christ died and then rose from the dead, and now we can have victory in Jesus!
After a great morning at church we headed over to Daniel's grandmothers house. Where we had our Milner/Turner family dinner. Grandma is one of the best cooks, plus all the other women in the family are amazing too! I made cupcakes. Shocking I know! hehe. And then after our tummies were all full we headed out side for a big egg hunt for all the kids. The guys had way too much fun hiding all the eggs in Grandma's yard, we kind of had to help the kids find the eggs, because the guys made it a little too hard. Oh well! The kids loved it.
We finished our evening the way we always do at Grandma's, with a fun game of cards. I enjoy Daniel's family so much and love how close we all are. It is amazing to be part of such a wonderful family and know that they love you. Hope you had a wonderful Resurrection Sunday! Remember it's not about food, dresses, eggs, and Bunny's. It's about Praising God for His son Jesus, and remembering the death and resurrection that had to happen for you to have eternal life. Spend some time in prayer today!
