Easter.

Easter, for us, meant...
....watching the sunrise over Mt. Hood; declaring aloud the work of our risen Savior with the saints.....
....gathering with his body to celebrate and worship....
....a little Easter feast around the table with family.....
.....egg hunting and jellybean eating.....
....long naps....
....multiple walks around the block....
.....leftovers.....
....loads of sunshine.....

To think that all of the good now is a mere shadow of a future and eternal celebration....and that His rest comes to us even now because of Christ.

Now the daylight flees
Now the ground beneath
Quakes as its Maker bows His head.
Curtain torn in two, 
Dead are raised to life;
"Finished!" the victory cry.

Oh, to see my name
Written in the wounds,
For through Your suffering I am free.
