Reason to Rejoice

I think often of Mary sitting alone at the sepulchre, mourning the absence of her beloved friend.  Saturday, the day before Christ's resurrection must have been filled with sorrow, especially for those who walked with our Savior day after day and believed in His words.  Mary found some comfort sitting near the tomb.  I can't imagine her grief as she tried to emotionally accept the events of that week.  How her heart must have yearned to see Christ once more and to express her love to Him.
The unspeakable wonder and joy that rushed through her body as she recognized the Savior is beautifully portrayed in this video.

Easter weekend brings such hope and promise.  We will reunite with our loved ones who have gone before us.  Our bodies will be made perfect, free from disabilities and disease.  Because of the great sacrifice and resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we will have eternal life!

Any similarities?

A side of Maren you've never seen...

Maren decided to box up the ballet shoes and sign up for a season of soccer.  This girl can run!  She loves the game, cleats and co-ed team.  It's so fun to see my prim and proper girl tear it up on the field.

You can't beat soccer Saturdays!

Yeehaw!

Cute cowgirl Caroline loved galloping on her stick horse, singing and dancing at her preschool rodeo parade.
