I don't know about anyone else, but this early Easter has seemed different to me. I have had a much harder time feeling spiritually ready for this season. I don't know if it is the house situation, Easter in March, or what. This morning I realized that I am not supposed to "get ready" for Easter, I am to be ready all the time to celebrate what Jesus did for me on the cross. I am to be mindful every minute that I am the righteousness of Christ, not because of anything I have done, but just because I am loved by my Father.
I love to celebrate on Easter morning, but I am not more redeemed today, not more loved today, not more forgiven today than any other day of the year. Every day is a day to rejoice in my salvation!
On a totally secular note, I had absolutely no idea how to explain to Mason about the Easter bunny, so he woke up to a big surprise when he saw the basket this morning. We ate lunch at Randy's parents house, and then had an indoor egg hunt because of the weather. Our sweet Missy goes back to Oklahoma today :0( I wonder if it will always be so hard to see our children leave home.
Tomorrow I will post some house pictures. We literally had a corner off of our house on Saturday. We got it boarded up just in time for the cooler weather. Randy is scraping more ceilings, and the crews will be back in the morning. Here we go again!
