Happy Easter - Celebrate the Saviour!

On national news yesterday they showed a segment where they interviewed young children who looked to be about five or six years old, the age I often used to teach. They asked them what Easter was all about and a few specific questions about what did Jesus do, etc. The answers seemed funny, yet not so funny. They thought Jesus brought Easter eggs, candy, etc . If you know the real events of Christ's death and resurrection, I hope you'll make it clear to the young children in your lives. I plan to do that tomorrow at our family gathering.

I used some old lavender striped paper long retired from CTMH and an unknown floral. The die cuts were all cut using Cricut Design Space. The sentiments are all from the PTI set "Alleluia."

Thank you for visiting! May you find the peace, joy, and blessings of following the risen Saviour!

Kaleidoscope Easter Card

I found a new challenge last week called Mustard Seed Faith Challenges. This week the challenge is to make something for Easter. I appreciated the idea shared that Easter isn't just one day to celebrate in a year but what affects life every week, every day for those who believe in Christ's gift of salvation. For me it's a daily relationship with a living Savior who took my punishment for my sins so that I could receive that gift and have a close personal relationship and share eternal life with the Lord. Sometimes a man may have died for a friend or family, but only one who was the sinless Son of God could take our punishment when He died and better yet, rise again from the dead to show us that life is eternal.

I love this sentiment stamp from Paper Trey Ink using Matthew 28:6 that expresses that He is a living Savior. History records that over 500 people saw Him after He arose from the dead before He ascended to heaven. For me, His Spirit speaks to my heart each day and He's always near to help, comfort and guide me. So I agree with the writer at Mustard Seed Faith that Easter impacts my life every day. I hope you'll visit their blog and check out their beautiful creations.

Thank you for visiting! May you be blessed by the risen Lord!
