Easter Blessings

I cannot exactly put my finger on the exact reason why, but Easter was incredibly wonderful this year. I always appreciate the extra focus on what Jesus did for me and others, but there was just something about it...

I am still desperately on my face in prayer over some specific burdens, and yet I'm beginning to really get that Jesus = Fulfillment. When the 24 people who came for dinner (which I thoroughly enjoyed) went home, I found myself on the back porch sweeping like I had the day before in preparation. I began chatting with God...wasn't I just out here doing this? Funny, it's back to you and me again....and that is where it's at. I love my family. I love my friends. I love my home. The list goes on....but it becomes just 'people' and 'stuff' if I don't make Him the center.

Anyways - here are just a handful of my favorite pictures from that day! Thank you, Lord, for giving me yourself and then on top of that....all of these other blessings.
