Easter

I hope you had a great Easter. This year we stayed in Louisville and Rocky's mom came for a visit. She was very sweet to fly in to see us as it is a very long trip from Jackson Mississippi. We had fun hanging out, watching movies, and eating at a lot of yummy places.

On Easter Sunday we went for brunch at Azalea's. If you have been there before you now how yummy it is. I recommend their famous dessert which is a sesame/almond basket filled with heath bar ice cream and fresh berries. It was beautiful and delicious.

While it was freezing cold here on Easter (it actually snowed on Good Friday) Beth and I wore our new Easter dresses with sweaters to church. I personally really enjoyed the service. Christmas and Easter are neck and neck for my favorite holiday. For me, I feel Easter is a day of rejoicing in the victory we have in Christ's resurrection. I am so thankful that through Christ we have peace with God and forgiveness of sins. I was reading in Romans 5 this morning (the 1st 11 verses). It made me so thankful to know that because of faith in Christ we no longer bear the wrath of God for our mistakes. I am also very grateful that Christ died for me even when He knew in advance that I would make mistakes. Praise the Lord for His mercy and grace.
