Holy Week


This week was a deeply meaningful week for our family. We really enjoyed our Resurrection Egg devotions again this year. It was special this year to see Josh flip right to the passages in the Bible and read them with ease. The boys seemed to grasp and delight in the true Joy of Easter this year in a much deeper way. On Easter morning the boys woke up at Mimi and Papa's and exclaimed, "He is risen!" Their prayers this week were so encouraging and beautiful.

Regarding prayer, Lydie cracked us all up on Easter morning. After the boys spoke words of thanks and praise, her prayer was, "Thank you Jesus that my new shoes will look beautiful." So typically of her right now! We really enjoyed our time with family this weekend. We can not get enough time with grandparents these days (or aunts, uncles, and cousins!). As the children get older, these relationships are just more precious. Is there anything better than relationships on this earth (first with Jesus and then trickling down to others)?
