Easter

Remembering Jesus' resurrection was special this year. Adam got to preach at our church in the morning, and in the afternoon we got together with other missionaries for fellowship and a potluck lunch.

Putting raisins into the little plastic Easter eggs did not seem too creative to me, yet John seemed to enjoy his egg hunt quite a bit (as well as eating the raisins!)


In the afternoon, John cooled off in his "pool" behind the house.

And then Adam called my attention to this view of the sky from our front porch, thinking I might want to take a picture of it:

"And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, 'Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.'" (Acts 1:9-11)

  1. What a beautiful sight! Those clouds! And the verse you chose to write with the picture is such a comforting promise always!

  2. I agree with your Mom, Ruth. What a beautiful Easter picture!

    As for the raisins - I think it's very creative! Just watch, it will probably become a tradition and John won't want anything else! ;-)
