Easter Program

Tonight we went to the Easter Program, "The Mercy Seat" at Higher Ground Baptist Church. James' sister goes to this church, and for the past few years we have attended this program. It was AWESOME!! We invited our good friends, Kevin and Christy to go with us...so we headed to Cheddar's for dinner (Yes, FPU friends, this was in the budget) and then we went to the program....It was phenomenal...Talk about feeling the Lord's presence...It was in this place tonight....They told the story of Jesus, from his birth, his miracles, his Crucifixion, and his death...and his Resurrection....Our kids, all 5 of them, sat still in amazement the entire time...I haven't cried so much in a while...To sit back and realize what Jesus did for us, and what we give to him....We are not worthy of his love, but he Loves us anyway....

One of the skits during tonight's performance was called Everything...It was a very emotional skit that the youth performed...I looked it up and found it on Youtube (this isn't the youth from Higher Ground, but it is the same skit)....I had to post this, because it is unbelievable....and yet so true...No matter how far away from God we go..whether it be in sin, drugs, alcohol, whatever it is....Jesus is there...praying for us...drawing us back to him...protecting us from evil....Watch this video...it is amazing...

This was a wonderful way to spend our Good Friday...Preparing our minds for a Blessed Easter Weekend....and celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord....Good Night....
