"Whiter Than Snow...What a Mighty God We Serve!"

We woke up Easter morning to find that all of our Easter wear would not be worn - once again, we were snowed in - ahhh Spring time in the Rockies! =-)

God was certainly good though - Mark read the Easter story from the Bible and the boys (without prodding from us), decided they wanted to read some of the story! What a blessing to hear the children read God's Word!

After that, we sent them in another room and put out their Easter Baskets and gifts from Grand Daddy and Grammy - they LOVED opening their new gifts. =-)

After the children went to go play with their new toys, Mark and I talked about how amazing it is that God says He washes away our sins - in fact, He says in Psalms 57:7b, "...wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow." Then looking outside at the deep snow, we were amazed at God's goodness and grace!

God is so amazing that He sent His Son to die on the cross for our sins and then He rose again the 3rd day - He is showing us His love for us!

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Dear Reader, during this Easter celebration, please remember that Jesus loves you! If you would like to know the security of eternal life and assurance you will go to Heaven, then please say the following prayer -

Dear Heavenly Father, I know that I am a sinner and I am sorry for my sins. Please forgive me. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and ask You to save me. I love you Lord Jesus. Amen

That's it! That's all you have to do. May you know the redemption that Christ can give you!

Blessings to you in Jesus' Holy Name,
Anna

Blizzards and Fun

Last night, we went to bed trying to think what we could do as a family for spring break.

This morning we woke up to find the decision was made for us. We were iced and snowed in - again!

Our oldest son, Jacob, decided to go outside and see what the weather was all about - he geared up in his snow suit and went outside.

We all stood at an open window and watched as he braved his way through the snow to his swingset - once he got there, he waved to us and turned immediately around and walked back to the house.

When he came inside, he was so excited that we let him do that alone. =-)

We've had fun talking about Jacob's brave expedition - especially his brother and sister - WOW! They really admire him for that! =-)

Later, when Mark and I were alone, we laughed about how our son thought he was alone, little did he know, that Mark had his shoes on, ready to run outside to help him if needed.

Isn't that like our Savior? We don't need to feel like we're all alone, God is watching us and is there with us every step of the way, even though we can't see Him.

I'm so thankful for our children, they help remind me that God is always with us and we don't have to worry about anything! =-)
