He is Risen! He is Risen!

What a glorious Easter. We sang a beautiful song in church this morning, which always makes me cry. It is called Spirit Song:

O let the Son of God enfold you
With His Spirit and His love
Let Him fill your heart and satisfy your soul
O let Him have the things that hold you
And His Spirit like a dove
Will descend upon your life and make you whole

Jesus, O Jesus
Come and fill Your lambs
Jesus, O Jesus
Come and fill Your lambs

O come and sing this song with gladness
As your hearts are filled with joy
Lift your hands in sweet surrender to His name
O give Him all your tears and sadness
Give Him all your years of pain
And you'll enter into life in Jesus' name

I thank God for the gift of His Son! I first sang this song many years ago when we had first moved to Austin and our family was struggling with the loss of Kirk's job. I can't help thinking about all the teachers that have lost their jobs and the feelings they must have. I just know without Jesus to "take away my tears and sadness," I would not have made it through that time or others that have come. You see- tough times never last and there is always hope through the Resurrection! He is risen! He is Risen!

I hope you had a glorious day with your loved ones. We had a pre- Easter breakfast yesterday with the family, then church this morning, and on to Waco to spend Easter with Kirk's mom and brothers. Here are some pictures of my darling family!
