Easter and an Anniversary

Easter

This year we had the blessed treat of celebrating Easter with our church family. We were enjoyed a wonderful Good Friday service as well as a riveting Easter sermon and joyful worship. Our fellowship meal was packed and we all enjoyed our fill of ham and side dishes. We brought tasty homemade cinnamon rolls that were also on our breakfast table at home Easter morning.
At home we celebrated Christ's resurrection with a reading of the crucifixion and resurrection story from the gospel of Luke, reading the last of our Lent readings and lighting all of the candles on the breakfast table because the Light of the World conquered sin and death...alleluia!

And of course a baby Jones update: here he (or she) is on Easter...what a cutie!

Anniversary

The next day, April 5th, we celebrated our second wedding anniversary! We enjoyed getting all dressed up (I was so excited to fit into my favorite dress from our dress rehersal two years ago...it was a close call though) and going out for a fancy dinner. We so enjoyed one another's company, as we always do, and our anniversary is such a great time of reflecting back on all of God's blessings and looking forward with excitement and anticipation to the future. I am so very grateful for the wonderful leader God has brought to me...and this is only the beginning!
