"Yea, Christ my hope is arisen."

"'Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say: Hell today is vanquished, heav'n is won today!"
"Lo, the fair beauty of earth, from the death of the winter arising! Ev'ry good gift of the year now with its Master returns!"
"Maker and Redeemer, life and health of all, Thou from heav'n beholding human nature's fall, Of the Father's Godhead, true and only Son, Manhood to deliver, manhood didst put on."
"Sing we to our God above, Alleluia! Praise eternal as his love; Alleluia! Praise him, all ye heav'nly host, Alleluia! Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia! Amen."

I hope you all had a blessed Easter Day! (We celebrate Easter for forty days to commemorate the 40 days Jesus was with his disciples between the Resurrection and Ascension.)

Love the Easter basket "bonnet" on the little blonde one. Beautiful sentiments. Also, your mother needs those pictures in a printable format. Be kind to your mother. xoxoxo Mom

Thank you for sharing your and my faith with everyone, Michele. I am so grateful to my Lord Jesus every day, and especially in rememberance of his day of rescuing us from outer darkness on Easter. What darling girls you had to celebrate with on this special weekend.
