Happy Easter

Resurrection Morning, what a wonderful reminder today of how much Jesus loves ME. He died on the cross that I may live and my sins could be forgiven. And on Resurrection Morning He ROSE!!! How AMAZING is God??

This morning, we enjoyed celebrating this amazing event with our children by making Resurrection rolls. It's a great object lesson for the children to remember how Christ was prepared for the tomb, put into the tomb, and rose on Resurrection morning leaving nothing but his burial shrouds behind. The girls had a great time putting "Jesus" (the marshmellows) in the "oils" (butter) and spices (cinnamon sugar) and then wrapping him in his shrouds (rolls). Then they watched as an adult put them in the "tomb" (oven) and when we look in the "tomb" "Jesus" is gone (melted away) and just the "shrouds" remain.

It was a BEAUTIFUL warm day, and the kids were all able to enjoy it. :)
