Easter Celebrations

This Easter Jack and I decided that we wanted to bring some real meaning to what Easter is all about so we decided to attend a few events around the city. We took in the Passion play at Foothills Alliance on Friday and what an amazing production. The room was packed with over 500 folks who obviously wanted the same thing - a picture to what Jesus went through many years ago. Then on Sunday we went over to First Alliance and took in there Easter Service. Again more people - somehow people are needing to hear the word of God whether they come out every week or just on special occasions. The words that were spoken meant so much and seeing it acted out put things in perspective. Christ lives in everyone of us if we just look around and see the beauty of what has been laid out. I know that I must continue to read and look for my journey to continue.
We also celebrated Easter with 2 families...Jaelyn, Rob & the girls had pre-Easter here with us on Saturday. We even managed to have a little Easter egg hunt for them. It is amazing to watch these little girls grow and change everytime we see them. They are becoming very interactive with everything that you do with them.
Then on Sunday, Breanne & Marc hosted there first dinner for his family and ours. It was a true pleasure to see your children grown and taking on responsibilities that you have coached them to do. I felt great pride seeing the table set with name cards and festive chocolates laid out.
So all in all I have to say that it was a great weekend filled with hope, reverence, family and most of peace of belonging to a community of faith.
