Preparing For Easter

The week before Easter brought with it three extra boys to our home. 7 boys! Charlie, Ben and Jimmy, my nephews, spent four nights with us. It was crazy, but we had lots of fun. I love my nephews and that my boys have cousins to play with - those are some of my cherished memories as a child - playing with my cousins!

One day we made crowns. We talked about how the Bible tells us that when we run the race of faith and are finished, we will receive the crown of life. We talked about loving Jesus and how he died on the cross for our sins, but is reigning in heaven now and someday we will throw our crowns before His feet in worship. And we sang one of my favorite Easter songs, "Crown Him With Many Crowns"
