Jacob on Easter

We had a great Easter holiday. Our church hosted a major community outreach for Easter. We reserved The Center, the larger public seating venue in our county, for our Easter service. We had over 700 in attendance and some decisions for Christ. Shannon did a great job handling the Preschool/Nursery classes during the service with 45 kids and 30 volunteers. I was very proud of our church to reach out with the gospel to our community.

Afterwards, we went to dinner at Phil and Evelyn Klober's. They are wonderful couple in our church. The Klober's invited over their daughter Amy and her husband Jamie along with their 2 kids, Jamie's parents and his sister's family, Micheal Lusby (our Youth minister) and his clan and us. There were 14 adults and 7 kids. The food was fabulous and the company was great as well. We did an Easter Egg hunt for the kids afterwards. The Klober's lost their son Robert in a car wreck at 17, and they have felt a special bond with Shannon after the loss of her parents. I am blessed at their concern for her during this holiday season.

Later that afternoon at our home, we did an Easter Egg hunt with Jacob in the backyard. He was of course incredibly cute. Check out the video of the hunt.

  1. What a precious video! I especially loved the ending. I was smiling and laughing the whole time. It's so wonderful to see how much Jacob loves his mommy and daddy. When he grabbed you both at the end and smooshed your faces together with his, my heart just melted! I miss you all!
