Alleluia -- Christ is Risen!
"I am the Resurrection and the Life"
~ John 11:25
This will be my Mom's first Easter in Heaven, and we will be spending time remembering her and how much she loved this Holy Day. I know she is truly celebrating with the Risen Christ and those who have gone before her in paradise.
May you all enjoy your day with family and friends and sharing your special holiday traditions....Wishing everyone a very Happy and Blessed Easter!

I hope you had a wonderful Easter. My folks really celebrated the holiday and when we were kids it was so beautiful and special. I miss those days but I enjoyed your pretty pictures and I know your mom is watching you from above!
ReplyDeleteJesus said to her,

He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;
and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.

This is one of the best and most favorite easter quotes you can read from the bible. Very nice.
