Choose Life...Choose Jesus.

 Good Monday morning! He Is Risen!! I think everyday should be Easter! What if we woke up every morning proclaiming the resurrection of our Lord? We just might change the world!
We can change the world and give hope.

"Just checked: The tomb is still empty, death defeated, the grave overwhelmed." -Louie Giglio


The words out of my "Jesus Calling" devotional book this morning were powerful.
"Since I have invested My very Life in you, be well assured that I will also take care of you."

We had a great Easter weekend. It's funny, I heard of several families that hunted Easter eggs even though their children are grown. Fun. Next year that will be on our schedule. These were the boys Easter gifts on Sunday morning. You have to have chocolate right?

I have enjoyed the Jesus Calling book so much I thought our guys would love it too. Hope they do.

 Love these men.

 More encouraging words:
Deut. 30:16- For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are now entering.

19- Now choose life so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to His voice and hold fast to Him for the Lord is your LIFE...
Yes, HE is risen...to be proclaimed everyday in our lives. 
We choose life. We choose Jesus.
Blessings! Amy

I love that last picture...always think of Christ's return when I see pictures like that. Only I'm sure it will be much more magnificent!

The one of you and the boys is pretty sweet too!

The eggs for our big kids is kind of a bribe to get them to come and join us, but it works!

Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I...
