Easter 2012

He is Risen! He is Risen indeed!

What a glorious, beautiful day to celebrate our Risen Savior.  I have been continually humbled this weekend, grateful for Jesus' sacrifice for my many sins, grateful that His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23), grateful that we have abundant life through Him (John 10:10).

Here are some pictures of our Easter morning below.

We started off by celebrating at church with our Pastor doing a monologue in the character of the apostle Thomas.  Truly wonderful, and our Pastor uses his gifts to minister to his congregation.

 Loving that I found this Peter Rabbit book set at our church's consignment sale (and they were brand new..even better). Elisabeth Elliot said she grew up reading these as a child, so I was delighted to find them and put them in Jackson's Easter basket.  Plus, I love the movie "Miss Potter."

Jackson loved the set of beach toys we got him, but this was his favorite "tool" out of the set and he carried it around all day.  Notice Tucker (dog) being wary of Jackson's "weapon."
