An Easter Prayer
O God, who for our redemption gave your only begotten Son to death on the Cross, and by his glorious resurrection has delivered us from the power of our enemy: Grant that we who celebrate with joy the day of our Lord’s resurrection, may be raised from the death of sin by your life-giving Spirit. Grant us so to die daily to sin, that we may evermore live with him in the joy of his resurrection, empowered and transformed by your grace in and among us.
O Lord, so stir up in your church, indeed in each of us, that Spirit of adoption and reconciliation that is made possible by your grace revealed in Jesus the Christ, that we being renewed in both body and mind, may worship and serve you in sincerity and truth. We pray this in the name of the same Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

This year for Easter, instead of getting together with all of the extended family, we had my sister,Kelli and her fiancee and his family over. We had a very enjoyable time. We had a wonderful meal and played Pictionary, which was rather competitive! Of course, they wanted to see the puppies. They are getting HUGE! They just found their bark and are rather fond of using it. Next weekend, they will be going out to the barn, which I am glad of. They are getting rather loud, which makes it rather difficult to sleep at night.
I hope you all had a very blessed Easter. I thank the LORD daily for choosing me and for giving His only Son to die and agonising death. Sola De Gloria!!
