Easter weekend was a whirlwind for us, in a wonderful way. On Saturday our small group from church got together for a pre-Easter brunch and it was so much fun! We all got dressed in our Easter best and our great hosts Kate and Steve hosted a potluck complete with cookie decorating and Easter egg hunting for the little ones. Garrett and I made ourselves so welcome we ended up staying for the whole day. After the brunch crowd dwindled we ate lunch, then got to chatting and hanging out, then Steve and Garrett decided to hit the driving range together and by the time they got back they were discussing what to throw on the grill for dinner. It was a wonderful impromptu day! Amelia, Abigail, and Gabriel got along great with their boys Jed and Max, and their baby Dash made a perfect completion to the happy houseful. It was another blessing of good new friends in a time when our hearts were already grateful for His incredible blessing in our lives.

On Friday evening Garrett and I had watched The Passion of the Christ, something we try to do regularly around Easter, and as always we were sobered yet also so utterly grateful for Christ's sacrifice on the cross, and then his victory over death! Praise God for His humanity; praise Him for His divinity. I hope God blessed you this Easter season as well and gave you respite to ponder the wonders of His love.
