Happy Easter

This Easter, we had a strange feeling... For a lot of us, this was the first "second repeat holiday in quarantine" because it had finally been a full year of this pandemic. Last year at Easter, this was all new and we were so shocked to not be gathering with our family, church, friends at this special holiday. Little did we know, a year later, a lot of us would be in the same boat. Very strange feeling to be circling an entire year... A year later though, our family knows even better how to roll on our own if necessary. We are so excited to hopefully be with others next year. We had a feast, did an Easter Egg hunt, searched the house for hidden Easter baskets, spent some Good Friday moments reading about what Jesus went through around the campfire, and celebrating that HE IS RISEN together on Easter morning!

Also, every year we remember that on Easter Sunday 2010, God healed baby Max. He was in the hospital with a mystery illness, and literally experienced a miracle. It was not lost on me, that this past January, when I made that same drive to Randall Children's Hospital, with my now 11 year old Max, walking through the same ER, being admitted to the same hospital... It was not lost on me that God has brought him back from the brink more than once, and the same God who saw fit to do that several times before, will be faithful to my son even as he lives with diabetes.

Romans 8:11 "The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, He will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you"
