Everything Under the Son
Because JESUS is my everything
Tree of Life
Thursday, April 05, 2007
On the dining room table in our home we have this.

The Tree of Life.
We took a couple of branches and spray painted them silver. We hung easter eggs from the branches...filled with devotions leading up to the Cross and the Resurrection, and each night we read from them; full of God's words. We also colored and hung pictures of butterflies, a reminder to us all of new life. Jesus gave us life. Jesus made new life possible for us. He gave His own life so that we could have LIFE. A LIFE to praise the Lord. A LIFE to sing His praises. A LIFE to chase Him with all of our hearts. A LIFE forever with Him in Heaven! Hallelujah!
I hope this weekend, as you go about your days, you will pause to remember the great sacrifice that was made for YOU! Jesus gave His life on the cross for YOU. His body was broken for YOU. His blood was spilled for YOU. And praise His name, He rose on the third day for YOU, ________ (insert your name here!)! He waits for YOU!
Hallelujah, Christ is Risen!

Oh, how I need Easter this week -- it always seems to come at just the right time when I REALLY need to be reminded of a life beyond this mess. And, thankfully, I think for the rest of my days, it will make me think of Levi's birth and what a welcome sight he was.
A welcome sight, indeed!
What a great idea! I may have to "steal" it for next year... Have a wonderful Easter celebration with your sweet family...

I am so pleased that you do all these little things to keep Jesus visible to Natalie and Levi as they're growing up. Praise God for mums like you!
