There's no LaRock family Easter picture this year. The reality of my sons is that they hate to dress in more than shorts and a t-shirt. In all honesty, they prefer to hang out in their undies. I had "nicer" clothes set out for them, but as I was in the bathroom getting ready I heard loud protests from all three of the older boys regarding the clothes I had set out for them. Needless to say, I am severely outnumbered here, and some battles aren't worth it to me. I wore a pretty Easter dress, and my men wore comfy pants, flip flops and super hero shirts. Thankfully, dressing up is not all Easter's about, right? Thankfully it's also not about coloring eggs and Easter egg hunts. We had some fun with those activities (see below), but I'm most thankful for Jesus on Easter!! I'm grateful for my church family who came together over the weekend. We remembered the sacrifice, the pain that was suffered so that we can be God's kids; so we can stand before God with our sins washed away. Then Sunday morning we celebrated because we know that the tomb is empty! Jesus is alive and He sits at the right hand of God, and one day He will come and make things right again.
I was very saddened to hear of the bombing in Pakistan as Christians were celebrating Easter together. I have hope though because my redeemer lives, and His work on earth is not done. One day every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord!
We had a fun day with the LaRock cousins!
