  • Because HE lives I can face tomorrow.  Because He lives all fear is gone.  Because I know I know he holds the future and life is worth the living Just because He lives.


    Well the babies and I won't be doing Easter this year.  The "traditional" Easter.  The looking for Easter eggs at grandma's.  The sunrise service.....I'm watching cars drive up to it right now.  Its held at the top of our mountain.  And the Easter Service with the beautiful music and the Easter clothes that mommy bought but will not be worn.


    My tendancy would be to poubt.  I had that pity party yesterday.  I found a way to get my two oldest to part of "Easter"  My parents will pick them up on the way down the hill from the sunrise service.  Take them to church and the easter egg hunt.  We don't do Easter baskets.


    But after I got done my pity party...I remembered.  Easter is


    NOT Easter eggs,


    NOT the Sunrise Service


    NOT the music at church


    NOT the beautiful dresses


    NOT healthy children


    NOT a family dinner.


    EASTER is the reason I can face tomorrow.  And tomorrow seems a long long ways away today as Kaylin is still sick.  So I will focus on GOD and not the man-made traditions I'm missing.


    Took Kaylin to the ER last night.  But after two hours waiting and it being obvious I would wait at least 4 more took her back home again.  *sigh*  She screamed about every two hours last night.  Except for a stint from 3-6:30 this morning.  She's in on my bed crying right now.  But I'm hiding from her to do my devotions.  I needed this tiny bit of space before I could face my children.


    I need to remind myself GOD IS IN CONTROL.


    Because he LIVES I can do this day.  I will not feel sorry for myself missing the sunrise service.  The most important part of Easter to me.  I will just be greatful that God is good....all the time.  All the time God is good. 


    My baby in my womb is healthy.  And soon will be out.  Three of my kids are still healthy.  And I have a husband who slept with the baby for several hours so I could get a little bit of sleep.


    God is Good


    Happy Easter. 


    Now off to take care of a very sick little munchkin.
