Easter 2016

Facebook post on April 28, 2016

Easter is a good day. As with other holidays this year, we just try to survive them. But the story of Easter, of us getting heaven this day, is a message so important to me- and, I imagine, to all of us who have someone waiting for us in heaven.

We also went and saw the movie Miracles from Heaven. It was often very emotional to be sitting there, watching parents watch their daughter dying. Max, sitting next to me, was often crying. (14 times to be exact. He was counting.) But I'd lean over and say to him, "Just remember, it has a happy ending." And that's just what Jesus gave us on Easter. A happy ending. The promise that all the hurt, sorrow, and pain we have now is temporary. Something more wonderful than we can imagine awaits us!
