~ HAPPY EASTER ~

Wishing all of our family and friends a HAPPY EASTER
From the Eggletons :)


Instead of an Easter Basket- we got Levi this little crate and filled it with some goodies:
aka- a sippy cup, a wipe clean bib, sunscreen, and some juice.
The crate collapses which will be great for packing along with us when we move!
I think he also enjoyed it :)



I also recognize that today is not all about baskets, chocolate bunnies and marshmallow peeps...

Good Friday marked a dark day when the God of the universe turned his face
from his Son, Jesus, as he began to face the agony of the crucifixion,
A crucifixion that he willingly walked through so that I could know the Father.
How powerful are those final words he uttered: "It is FINISHED!"
The Gospel is simply that: Jesus in my Place...
How FREEING is this LOVE?
I am liberated from trying to gain the love of God by my actions, but am invited to receive this love because of what Jesus did.

(Experiencing my love for Levi has really allowed me to see deeper into the magnitude of this sacrifice and the depths of God's LOVE)

As we know, the story doesn't end there...
TODAY we celebrate Christ's victory of death because he ROSE.
What a powerful statement~and that same freedom from the bondage of sin is offered to me!
How sweet it is to be loved by HIM... how much easier is it to LOVE Him in light of it all.

~Truly Amazed~
