Easter

We had a wonderful day celebrating the life of our risen Lord! We woke up after a long night of strong thunderstorms to a beautiful blue, clear sky. Fresh spring flowers decorated our breakfast table in which we had fresh fruit and French toast casserole. Yummy!

After breakfast we had some time to read Dad's word, sing some songs of praise and lift our hearts to Dad. It was a wonderful time! Afterward, we went out to a U.S. Army base right outside the city. They had invited us to fellowship, have lunch and also some activities for the kids. At fellowship that had a time for the kids where they talked about how an egg is like God. When they got to the yolk the leader asked what color it was. Benjamin piped right up and said, "Yellow!" with enthusiasm. It was precious and made my heart melt. Here is where we ate lunch:

They also had Easter baskets for the kids which was so thoughtful. I know these soldiers miss their families back home, so I am glad that they were able to see kids!

They also had an Easter egg hunt and Benjamin had so much fun! He figured it out pretty quickly and while he was the youngest kiddo there, he did manage to get 5 eggs! Way to go Benjamin!


What a wonderful day! Please ask Dad to watch over the SP seeds planted during this season. We are so thankful for all of you!
