Easter Sunday

I LOVE Easter! I love what it means, love the traditions, love the time of year....I love everything about it. This is one holiday that has not been over commercialized (relative to Christmas that is). J and I started out the weekend with doing some errands on Friday and then hit the gym, Saturday, we did the grocery store thing, ate at a wonderful mom & pop pizza place that was new for us, and watched a movie. Today was church, Easter lunch and a long walk at River Front Park. The weather has been amazing!

But the most important thing today is that we are all renewed. Meaning that when Jesus died on the cross, we all get a "do over". I know that might sound trivial, but it's the best way to describe what happened. Of course, we get the ultimate "do over". And I am so incredibly grateful that we do. All of us have reasons to need forgiveness. I need it every single day, and it took me a really long time to realize that. I also, realized I need God's grace and mercy and help every single day and because Jesus died on the cross for me, I can go to him every single day and know that his forgiveness, grace and mercy is there, always.

Blessings & Happy Easter,
