Easter 2009

Luke 24:6 "He is not here, but He has risen."

We stand in awe at the cross and the work Jesus did there. Thank you Jesus! We are thankful for an empty tomb and a risen Savior.
The Abshires hope you had an Easter filled with the hope that our risen Lord & Savior brings!
We had a fun day of celebrating the resurrection with friends and family. The children had a visit from the Easter bunny.
Abbie had set out cookies and carrots for the Easter Bunny and a note that thanked him for sharing Jesus' love with other children. They found Easter eggs in the back yard and loved it. Easter service was filled with worship and fellowship that blessed our hearts.
Jesus has risen and lives today.
We also spent the rest of the day with Liz's family.
At the end of the day, Mama laid with Abbie, as she was going to sleep, and asked, "What was your favorite part of today Sweetheart?" Abbie's response brought tears to Mama's eyes. She replied, "When I lined up my Build-A-Bears and shared Jesus with them and they all asked Him to come live in their hearts."
That is the hope of Easter and she gets it! Thank you Jesus!

That is a very wonderful thing to hear your child sharing Jesus with her toys. You are blessed my friend.
