Life is a Special Occasion!

Happy Easter Everyone!
The miraculous lesson of Easter is that through Jesus' death on the Cross, we have been granted a second chance and permission to leave our old lives behind and stand before the pristine, unmarred canvas of a new day, with all its potential for joy and choices that honor God.
Stop reliving the past, beating yourself up over all the mistakes you've made. The slate has been wiped clean! Paint a new life for yourself, bright with the colors of redemption, grace and renewal. Jesus loves you.
Happy Easter!
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Lord, the resurrection of Your Son
has given us new life and renewed hope.
Help us to live as new people
in pursuit of the Christian ideal.
Grant us wisdom to know what we must do,
the will to want to do it,
the courage to undertake it,
the perseverance to continue to do it,
and the strength to complete it.
Amen!
Christ is risen! – He is risen indeed! I love Easter, mostly because it’s the one time of year people actually focus on the most important event in history. But I also love the dawn of spring, and the celebrations we have as a family to welcome more outdoor time, more stopping to smell the wildflowers, and a general sense of rebirth in our lives
Today’s pictures are just a few of those taken at our family Easter celebration this year. It was a beautiful day with temps close to 70 and we were outside for most of the day. Besides the egg hunt the grands had to enjoy, we also had a large egg shaped piñata for them to smash down also filled with lots of more treats to eat.
I hope you all have a wonderful Easter Sunday. May it be filled with JOY!
COUNTING MY GIFTS
I have counted at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for a little over a year and have now reached over 1500 gifts. On my way to 2000. I'm not stopping, but will continue on counting. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
1595. for Easter Day, a truly great celebration!
1596. for the gift of each new day
1597. for second chances
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU !
May God bless you at Easter,
And keep you all year through.
May God give you all the faith it takes,
To make your dreams come true.
May His love and wisdom always help,
To guide you on your way.
May His light shine down upon you now,
To bless your Easter Day.
Wishing you a blessed and joyful Easter.
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,
ma
