Holidays with kids really are more fun, and Parx is at SUCH a fun age. He loved dying eggs and actually did really well and lasted longer than I thought. He was good at finding his eggs and even helped Graysen with his. When we went to see the Easter bunny he couldn't decide if he liked him or was scared of him, but was willing to get a picture if Mom did it too. Easter morning he was so excited about his surprises, his big boy bike that we thought he would be most excited about was his least favorite, he was more into his Dr. kit. It was actually super funny, he put on his glasses and said Hi I'm Dr. Parx and wanted to even wear them to church.
As much fun as all holidays are this one has an even bigger more meaningful reason to celebrate. Our Savior Jesus Christ. There was an awesome video going around about Easter this year and I just loved what it had to say because no matter how I tried to express my feeling I'm just not good at putting them into words like some people are.
Because of him
It was unthinkable
impossible
unfathomable
unprecedented
a single act
that changed history
possibility
destiny
he was a Carpenter
a teacher
an outcast
a leader
yet he did
what no carpenter
teacher
outcast
leader
had ever done
like all who preceded him
he lived
and he died
but unlike all who preceded him
he rose from the dead
he lived again
he lives
and because he lives
you
you and you
she and he
them
and we
all
will live again
because of him
death has no sting
the grave no victory
we can start again
and again
and again
because of him
guilt becomes peace
regret becomes relief
despair becomes hope
because of him
we have second chances
clean slates
new beginnings
there is no such thing
as the end
because of him
