Just in time for Easter...

Today is Easter...no, it's not just about Bunnies, Baskets, Eggs, etc...but it's all about Jesus.  He died so we could live free of sin.  How amazing is that?  God is amazing, plain and simple!

You know what they say, that the power of prayer is amazing too, right?  Well, I wanted to share this story with you...

You will get chills.  You will tear up.  This is proof that prayer is very, very powerful.  It will remind you that God does have a plan for all of us and it's bigger than any of us will EVER know.  So keep on praying and don't lose faith; even if you don't get an answer right away, He does hear you.

Happy Easter to you and yours...
God Bless! :)


John 3:16-17 (NLT)

 ¹⁶ “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.

Happy Easter!

I received this via email and it's too cute not to share!

All I need to know

I learned from the Easter Bunny!

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Everyone needs a friend who is all ears.

There's no such thing as too much candy.

All work and no play can make you a basket case.

A cute tail attracts a lot of attention.

Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day.

Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits.

Some body parts should be floppy.

Keep your paws off of other people's jelly beans.

Good things come in small, sugar coated packages.

The grass is always greener is someone else's basket.

To show your true colors, you have to come out of the shell.

The best things in life are still sweet and gooey.

May the joy of the season fill your heart.

Happy Easter!

I know the true meaning of Easter isn't about Bunnies and Eggs, so stay tuned for a link to a touching story tomorrow!

Springy Easter Decor

I've had my Easter Decor out for about a month now, I just never got around to taking pictures of it.  While it's really simple, I think it's really cute.  We don't have a whole lot of room to decorate our house, so I just stick with the bookshelf in our living room (Christmas of course is different!).  It's so easy to swap our decor from season to season.

Top Shelf...
House Plant (gift), White Iron Bird (hob lob), and Spring Subway Art (made by me!)
More Springy than Easter, but I like it!

 

2nd Shelf...
3 Egg Trio (hob lob)

3rd Shelf...
Vase (mine) filled with Ceramic Glittered Eggs (hob lob), Pink Easter Grass (Wal-Mart)
Frame and Books (mine)



4th Shelf
Pink Glittery Iron/Wire Mesh Chick (TJ Maxx $4.99) - he's my fav, so cute!
Check out his "wings" and "hair", they have stripes on them! (even on his little legs!)

 

All together!

Now let's get up close and personal....
 

Pretty Sparkly Eggs!


 

This little trio is fun, and I love the designs on them!



Iron little birdy...yep I jumped on the band wagon!
I actually have 2 of them, they are so cute...I'll be using them a lot!

 

Here's the cute little chick again...adorable!!

All of the stuff I got at Hobby Lobby awhile back was on sale like 50% off or something...I never pay full price there or try hard not too.  So this was an inexpensive way to decorate our house for Easter!
