Happy Easter!

I hope everyone had a wonderful day with family and friends! What a humbling thought that Jesus died for us while we were still sinners...but I am SO glad that He did and that He rose on that 3rd day and set us free! I am so happy to be celebrating LIFE! Happy Easter, love the Wilson's!

beautiful blood-by the waiting

Breaking the coals
Makes the fire burn bright
Doesn't seem right
Doesn't seem right

Plowing the row
Makes it outshine the field
Doesn't seem real
Doesn't seem real

But of all the things
That don't make sense to me
There is yet a greater mystery
The river of Peace
That flowed on the wood
The beautiful blood
The beautiful blood

Meek is the lion
and brave is the lamb
Don't understand
Don't understand

The death of the One
To bring life to the rest
Who would have guessed?
Who would have guessed?

But everything's clear
Next to the mystery
Of almighty God nailed to a tree
To carry a debt
That I never could
The beautiful blood
The beautiful blood

Yes, everything's plain
Next to the mystery
Of almighty God nailed to a tree
Taking His place
Where I should have stood
The beautiful blood
The beautiful blood

Keeping busy...

Didn't have a car so we walked to Target....quite an adventure but at least we got the dish soap we needed to clean!



Sorting through Easter treats!


Isaac watching Daddy put together the swing set for the big brothers!

Tell me the story of Jesus...

I have been slowly gathering things for the Easter baskets for my sweet boys. Besides the obvious sugary goodies they will be getting, I really wanted to include Bible books for each of them, something they could relate to on their own level. After searching through lots of books on Amazon, I decided on these 3:


For Isaac, though he doesn't quite appreciate reading yet, its never too soon to start and soon enough he will actually enjoy the stories! Also, lots of the books had really awful art, but I really liked the artwork in this book.


For mister Colby...this one seemed to be a good match for his reading skills, I am looking forward to hearing him read some stories to me!


And last but not least, a rhyme Bible for my little Micah. He has been asking lots of questions about God lately and I love that we will be able to read some rhyming stories about God and His people together!

I can't wait to put all the baskets together. What a wonderful celebration of Jesus, His love, and the LIFE He gives us! What goodies are going into your baskets this year?
