After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."
So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me." (NIV)
I hid the kid's Easter baskets this year. Usually they stick them on the doorstep for the Easter bunny to fill, but I'm tired of waking up before they do to put them back out on the doorstep before they get up.
After they found their baskets, I made these resurrection rolls with the kids, only ours unrolled during the baking process so it didn't quite work out. They tasted good anyway. We'll try again next year.
We had our delicious Easter meal at my Mom's house last night, so after church we headed to Longwood Gardens. What a beautiful place to go on a warm, sunny, day! We had a great time and I got some great pictures!
Ahhhh, back to the grind with our regular school/work week tomorrow. Can't wait till summer!
