WEEK 13 ~ MARCH 25-31, 2016

Easter weekend....remembering the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made for his people. It makes me think on the song "It's About the Cross" ... the beginning of the story is wonderful and great but it's the ending that can save you and that's why we celebrate...



It's not just about the manger
Where the baby lay
It's not all about the angels 
Who sing for him at day 
It's not all about the shepherds 
Or the bright and shining star 
It's not all about the wise men 
Who travelled from afar

It's about the cross
It's about my sin 
It's about how Jesus came to be born once 
So that we could be born again 
It's about the stone 
That was rolled away 
So that you and I could have real life someday
It's about the cross

It's not just about the good things 
In this life I've done 
Its not all about the treasures 
Or the trophies that I've won 
Its not about the righteousness 
That I've find within 

It's all about His precious blood 
That save me from my sin

It's about the cross
It's about my sin 
It's about how Jesus came to be born once 
So that we could be born again 
It's about the stone 
That was rolled away 
So that you and I could have real life someday
It's about the cross

The beginning of the story is wonderful and great 
But it's the ending that can save you and that's why we celebrate 
It's about the cross 
It's about my sin
It's about how Jesus came to be born once 
So that we could be born again 
It's about God's love
Nailed to a tree
It's about every drop of blood that flowed from 
Him when it should have been me 
It's about the stone 
That was rolled away 
So that you and I could have real life someday
So that you and I could have real life someday 
It's about the cross It's about the cross


With extra time off from work and school on this weekend, we were able to visit family, dine on Mark's homemade pasta and sauce, experience the first Artisan Marketplace at our church and enjoy a stand up supper and hymn sing.






Being "dutch" sometimes means buying clearance easter candy and having an egg hunt with the kids :) I'm not sure who had more fun, Kim and I hiding the eggs or the kids as they searched for their special coloured eggs. 
















Carol, Shifrah and Hadassah came down for a visit and the kids and I played hooky so we could enjoy a day at Fleetway with them. Lunch was at The Works...wow, it was yummy! It was great to reconnect and have lots of fun doing it.
