Such a Thoughtful Friend




Yesterday was a very long, busy day. Tyler's grandfather, Everett Coon, passed away and it was his funeral. The services were very good, the flowers beautiful and the kids, why they were perfect! But it was still a very long day. When we came home, we found this adorable basket on the front step. My sweet neighbor Elizabeth had made it for us. It is filled with numbered eggs to help us countdown to Easter. Inside each egg is a reverent reminder of the reason we really celebrate Easter. My kids love the daily activity and always learn something new. Today, there were 3 dimes to help us remember how Christ was betrayed for 30 pieces of silver by someone who loved Him so much.

I love this holiday. It helps us remember the significant event that changed us all. I especially feel Christ's love through the kind acts of my sweet neighbor, my adorable mother (who brought us a plant when she found out about grandpa's death) and many others who treat us so kindly. You touch our lives deeply. Thank you.

Happy Easter.
