Easter

We started Easter with a sunrise service – yup – even the kiddos climbed out of bed at 5am to be downtown to celebrate with our church when the sun came up. Why do such a thing? Because the very best thing in our life, the presence of God, was made real by the innocent death of Jesus and his resurrection. The events that we celebrate at Easter define our lives, not just the work we do but our very purpose and joy in life. Of course, like most people we want our kids to enjoy our celebrations too so at 8 in the morning we had our friends over for a special breakfast and the kids got to hunt for psanky (Ukrainian painted eggs). There may or may not have been some chocolate involved too.
