easter eggs





Last night I thought it would be fun to color Easter eggs with the boys. I'm not quite sure what I was thinking since there was dye and eggs involved! All in all, the boys did quite well. Each of the boys had their own egg to decorate. I don't think I boiled the eggs long enough, but at least the boys had a good time!
Please pray for us as we try to explain the true meaning of Easter to Aiden. We are trying to explain it in a way he will understand, but I think it's still over his head. I keep praying that God will save my boys young. Aiden says he loves God and doesn't want to go to hell, but I know he doesn't understand what following Christ means. He is still so young yet that I can't expect him to understand much yet.
I personally really want to focus this Easter on Christ and His incredible gift. I love that my Savior is not dead, but is fully alive! One of my favorite songs right now is "Lead me to the Cross" by Hillsong United. Here are the lyrics:
"Savior I come
Quiet my soul, remember
Redemptions hill
Where Your blood was spilled
For my ransom
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost
Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Oh lead me, lead me to the cross
You were as I
Tempted and trialed
You are
The Word became flesh
Bore my sin and death
Now Your risen
Lead me the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Lead me, lead me to the cross"
May this be my prayer this Easter season!
