{Selah Ranch, 7:26AM} |
It's definitely a wonderful feeling to burst forth with our "Alleluia's," on Easter morning, after forty days of restraint. I always feel such amazing unity with the congregation of believers, as we lift our voices in unadulterated rejoicing at the resurrection of our Savior.
This morning began for me at 5:15AM, as I got up to leave for a "Sunrise Service" out at Selah Ranch, about twenty minutes from my house. The service was stunning! The weather this year was the most beautiful weather we've had at the sunrise service for as many years as I can remember going--which is a few...
My family and I drove to breakfast at a friend's house (she invites the entire church, every year, and lots of us do make it ;), where we enjoyed copious amounts of bacon.
Our main church service began at 10:30AM, and as you can see, I was not special enough to get someone to take a traditional picture of my Easter outfit. I definitely took a selfie instead. #noregrets #okaymaybeliketwo
After resting at home for about an hour, my family went over to yet another friend's house for a share-a-dish meal with our church family. We lasted from 1:30pm until about 5:30pm.
THEN my dad, three brothers, and I made our way over to Coldstone to celebrate a brother's 22nd birthday. Obviously, we had to eat some Panda Express as an evening snack since it was immediately next door.
After shopping for some beverages at Sprout's, we are finally back home, enjoying drinks and relaxing before two of my brothers have to drive back to their various cities for work, tomorrow morning.
I hope you had a lovely and blessed Easter, filled with His joy!!
Alleluia, Christ is Risen!
"He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the
place where the Lord lay." Matthew 28:6
