Easter service brought several tears to my eye while singing. I just get so emotional while singing songs, thinking about the pain and the sacrifice our Savior paid up there on that cross dying just so that I, little old Lauren who is a sinner and sins daily, could have life! I mean, who deserves a Dad like that? I know I sure don't. The song we sang still rings in my head and the one thing that stays on my mind is his cross. "Cause Jesus paid it all, all to him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain, he washed it white as snow. Oh praise the one who paid my debt and raised this life up from the dead."
What a sweet Easter it was this year with 2 kiddos under our roof. R really got to enjoy his little basket, egg hunts, and goodies and A was along for the ride everywhere we went and she was quite the trooper, as always! Love her. Did I say egg hunts? Yes. I did. We went to 3! One in Lakeland, one at R's preschool and one at Dar & Mimi's church (my old church). I always love going back to my old church and seeing friends who are so dear and caring. It's nice to be able to reconnect with them and also show off my babies to them.
On Easter day we got up and went to church together then came home to eat and enjoy a wonderful meal with Rhett's side of the family. (The day before Rhett put down new sod in our yard and dug up all of the old grass.) So after lunch and family had come and gone he got back out there and finished it up. I must say, he is quite the handy man! I love it that he can fix or complete any project around here without having to hire help. After the afternoon naps were over we headed to my family's house to eat dinner with Dar, Mimi and Frin. It was quite a busy day but
I we wouldn't have it any other way! I love being around family, always have, always will. Sure hope my kids grow up one day and stay where their mom and dad are or nearby. Or we might just have to pack up and follow them. hehe.
Here are some pics...enjoy :) I know I did.
