Easter Comes...

I was waiting for spring...and it has arrived...at least on my calendar it has!! I'm waiting on sunshine around my house...but there are daffodils peeking through to cheer me! And now Easter is just around the corner.... EASTER.

Every year as it comes and goes, I wonder why I don't decorate for Easter. I mean, at Christmas I have so much fun...at our house we don't do Santa, but nativity scenes and snowflakes abound. I have a unique taste for Christmas decor...I love old rummage sale Christmas discards. I create with them and just make it plain fun around here! To celebrate the birth of Christ. His birthday on the day this earth has chosen to assign his birth to.

But EASTER should be so much BIGGER!!! LOUDER!!! Jesus (God stuffed into a human body, willingly) came to set us FREE...and HE DID when He submitted to brutal death and then rose from the grave!!! Giving us the Way to eternal life with Him!!!

Seems like that calls for a CELEBRATION!!!! A never-ending WOOOOOO-HOOOOOO....PRAISE SHOUTING, TRUTH DECLARING, P-A-A-R-T-Y!!!!

EASTER...THE DAY TO REMEMBER WHAT GOD IN HIS GREAT LOVE DID FOR US...SO THAT WE MIGHT HAVE THE CHANCE TO CHOOSE CHRIST. TO LIVE FOR ALL ETERNITY IN HEAVEN....DECLARING HIS PRAISE!! SINGING GLORY TO HIS NAME!! HAVING A GIANT WOOOO-HOOOOO PARTY SAYING THANK YOU TO OUR SAVIOR FOREVER!!!

Now that's a reason to celebrate! ENJOY THIS EASTER SEASON... and sing this with me ok?
