Happy 1st Easter

Today, we celebrated Jaxon's first Easter. Although we were stuck at home and wished we could be with our family in Missouri, it was fun enjoying this first major holiday with him. We spent the entire day with April and Kieran, lounging around and enjoying a great breakfast and a yummy late lunch. The "Easter Bunny" also visited our house before anyone woke up and left Jaxon a big basket of Easter goodies. Of course he can't eat the candy, so mom and dad will have to help out there, but he will definitely enjoy his new toys.

As I do each Easter, I am reflecting on the sacrifice Jesus made for us and this year I am especially drawn to John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son...; for the first time in my life, I feel and understand the power of these words. I can't even imagine how our Creator was suffering as he watched his one and only Son die on the cross for our sins. I feel so undeserving of such love and sacrifice. What an amazing Father we have! My prayer, is that as a parent, I will be able to share my love of Christ with my child so that he will be able to feel and understand God's unconditional love for him and the entire world.

Happy Easter and we hope you had a blessed day with your friends and family.
