Easter 2012

Easter weekend is upon us! Matt and I are both off work yesterday and today - what a treat! We have been enjoying the weather and time together. This year we started reading the account of Jesus' last days starting on Palm Sunday with His entrance into Jerusalem. We have read a chapter each day leading up to this weekend and we are eagerly awaiting the last chapter that we will read tomorrow....our hope...HE IS RISEN!

HE IS RISEN!!!
"The the angel spoke to the women. "Don't be afraid!" he said. " I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn't here! He has been raised from the dead, just as He said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. And now, go quickly and tell his disciples he has been raised form the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember, I have told you." - Matthew 28:5-7

Happy Easter Everyone!
