Sam really took in the meaning of Easter this year. We've always talked to him about it and read to him the true meaning of Easter, but this was the year that it "clicked" for lack of a better word and he just amazed me talking about it. I am so thankful and blessed with Sam being able to go to Bethlehem Christian Academy, so thankful for his teachers and Mrs. Suzy who teaches their chapel time, where he was able to learn about what the meaning of Easter all week at school. When Sam went to bed Thurs. night, he reminded me that tomorrow being Good Friday was the day that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and that when he woke up Friday morning he needed to look up to the sun an thank God for his son Jesus that died for all of us. He then went on to tell me and Chad the whole story of what happend to Jesus that day and how he rose again on the third day. It was amazing, he didnt leave out any details at all. So, sure enough, when he woke up Friday morning that was the first thing he did, was go over to his window, look up to the sun, and thanked God. What a blessing!! Thank you God, for your son, Jesus and what he did for us!! and thank you God, for my precious son!!
On to Saturday, it was a busy day!! Birthday party for one of Sam's best friends and then home to color some easter eggs, and later that night we went to Bethlehem Baptist Church's production of "Pierced" All I can say is it was AMAZING. Thank you, Thank you , Thank you Jesus!
Sunday we were up and at em EaRlY!! We went to Easter sunrise service at 6 am. It was such a blessing and I'm so glad we went. We really debated about getting Sam up so early seeing that we would have such a busy day. He did great and was fine with waiting until we got home to see what the Easter bunny had left him =) After getting home and of course a photo session =) and checking out the Easter basket. I had some cooking to do and then we were off again...... It was a great lunch with family at my Aunts house. Sam hunted eggs and threw the football with his favorite cousin Wes. Sam is the only little one in the family so he get ALL the attention!!
We ended the day by spending it with some great friends. Sam got to fish in their pond and he caught one!! WoW, did that ever make his day=)
It was a GREAT day that the Lord hath made. Beautiful sunshiney Easter day. Thank you again Jesus, I just cant say it enough...... Hope all of you had a Blessed Easter!!
