He is Risen!
This is the first Easter in many years that we haven’t attended a Sunrise service. I will definetly suggest it to someone at our church for next year. I just love sunrise services. Although, I’m pretty tired lately so I didn’t complain about the 9:00 service. My maternal grandparents are visiting for the week & my paternal grandparents came with us all to our church too, so there was a lot of family together celebrating Christ’s resurrection. The message was good as usual, a good reminder on how God loved us first and it’s only by His love that we can genuienly love others. The 4th & 5th graders presented a coreography to an Easter song & it was powerful. I couldn’t help imagining that one day Elliot might participate in something like that.
Afterwards Charlie’s parents came to our family gathering & we spent a typical holiday at the Spradley Home, all the adults sitting around visiting & playing games & doing puzzles while all the kids swim or play 4-square, badmitton, and pingpong. I just love days like this. I look forward to Elliot growing up in this family & the next generation of little ones experiencing God’s love in the midst of a christian family.
