He Is Risen

 Good morning and welcome back to another Monday.  I am sipping on my second cup of coffee, which is odd because I usually only drink one.  Today feels like a two cup day, what do you think?  

Easter is now behind us but the reminder of what Jesus did for us on the cross stays in my heart forever.  

It was a blessed day for us yesterday.  We were awake early and arrived at church as 6:00am for the sunrise service.  It was foggy and misty so we didn't see the sun but the sky did get lighter as we were there.  Watching it go from dark to light, knowing this was about the same time our Savior rose from the dead was just an amazing experience.  We sang songs and listened to the pastor give a brief message on the resurrection.  We went home for a little bit of rest and then back to church for a breakfast (in place of Sunday School) and then regular service.  

My kids played in the orchestra during the service.  My boy on the trumpet and my girl on the French horn.  They did a beautiful job.  

My parents joined us for a ham dinner at home and we ended the night painting eggs.  Well, just me and my girl painted eggs.  

I was so thankful to have time at home with family.  I'm also forever grateful and blessed for the gift of Salvation.  Thank you, Jesus!
