Awesome Easter
Easter Sunday was great! For the most part. My wife and I had to take our one month old daughter to the ER Thursday evening. Earlier that day we took her to the doctor for her one month check-up and we discovered she had a double ear infection. The last thing the doctor told us was to watch for a high temperature. Sure enough, later that night the high temperature came and we had to take her to the hospital. We sat at UT for several hours while the doctors took blood and tried to do a lumbar puncture. As I set there watching the doctors try to do the lumbar puncture and seeing my little girl in pain, helpless and crying, I thought back to the cross and what Jesus did for you and me. I thought about how God the father had to be hurting seeing his Son in pain, taking the sins of the world upon His shoulders. Jesus suffered so I would not have to. Jesus died and paid for my sin so I would not have to. Jesus died so I could make it to heaven because I can not make it on my own. Easter Sunday was great in the fact that the church was packed with over 200 people. We celebrated our risen savior. We celebrated what He did for each one of us. We celebrated the new life we can have through Him!!!!!
