Yesterday, I got Tenley's Easter dress out along with all the coordinating accessories. Shoes, bow, socks, etc. I was so excited to see her in everything. I tried everything on her to get a few pictures, since I know that Sunday morning isn't going to allow me much time to do so. As I was dressing her I realized that I've been so caught up in making sure that Tenley's ready for Easter with her little shoes and clothes that I forgot the real reason for Easter. It's not about dresses, bows, or making sure we all match on Sunday morning. It's all about HIM. Jesus died FOR ME! FOR TENLEY! FOR MIKE! What did we ever do to deserve that?! Absolutely nothing. But He did it anyway. This weekend, that's what we need to celebrate. That Jesus died for us and rose. The best part? His promise to come back. Last Sunday we sang a song at church that made me remember how excited I should be about His return. Sometimes it's easy to get wrapped up in the worldly things. Like, wanting to see Tenley grow up or get married, etc. But what I really want is for Jesus to come back and take us all to Heaven to celebrate together so that Tenley never has to feel heartache, pain or suffering. We can all be together FOREVER!
So until then, we remember:
