Our Pastor, Larry preached a great sermon on walls that you encounter in life. These walls range from losing a job, to fighting an addiction, to getting along with your spouse. Basically there are many walls that keep us from getting closer to God. We must overcome these walls and focus on him. Easter this year to me was a wall. Easter is tough because it is a constant reminder of my Dad. We also had several issues that kept arising (weather, news reports) and kept coming in between our making plans. Easter Sunday, after a very busy morning with Easter baskets with the kiddos and then working in the church nursery and plans still not being hammered down, became a wall persay. But after a while, I realized that it was just Satan trying to spoil a family event and draw us even further from God. I changed my attitude and then everything started falling into place. The weather turned out to me beautiful - we could not have asked for more. We ended up going to a beautiful shaded park and the kiddos had an absolute blast running around and hunting eggs. Nana brought cupcakes and bubble guns and WEIRD jellybeans. It was a great afternoon. I am so thankful for what Christ did for us. Sometimes, we just need to stop getting caught up in the worldy things going on around us and focus on him and he will do the rest.
Tricia has strep throat and could not join us and we missed her very much. That was the only problem with yesterday afternoon. Click the link below to see the pictures!
