give God the glory

It has been such a fun weekend. With that fun comes exhaustion. And then there is the dread of going back to work after having a three day weekend.

It started with a barnyard birthday bash on Good Friday; some last minute Easter shopping on Saturday, dyeing eggs at bedtime, along with a very late night/ early morning cleaning spree; and ended today with 20 family members over to celebrate Easter with us after church (hence the cleaning spree).

I have felt so passionate this weekend about Jesus dying for us. Two things: wow and thank you. There are a few christian songs that I have found myself singing in my head (and sometimes out loud) and would rather listen to them and turn my eyes upon Jesus rather than the country tunes I normally listen to that always dredge up memories. (See the bottom of this post for one of my favorites.)

We have made some great memories of Easter 'o9. We give God the glory for our friends, our family and for our everlasting forgiveness.
