First Easter in Heaven

This Sunday is Easter.  A year ago i was pregnant with Grant and was planing and dreaming for  Easter 2012.  I would get him a cute little suit to wear to church, we would try to "help" him decorate eggs, i would make him an Easter basket that he would never remember or really have interest in :)   I know i would have taken so many pictures documenting his first Easter holiday.

Here it is...Easter is in just a few days.  A month ago i knew it would be Grants first Easter in Heaven but i did not know that he would be spending it with his little brother Zachary in heaven. 

I wish my boys were here, Grant would be around 5 months and Zachary would still be inside me and be 20 weeks.

Even though it is so hard knowing they are not with me, i know that they get to spend their first Easter in heaven with Jesus.  Easter is not about all the fun and traditional things i mentioned above...Easter is about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ dying for our sins and rising from the dead.  If Jesus had not paid the price for my sin...i would not have the opportunity to spend all of eternity with my sons.  Because of His sacrifice i have the assurance of being in heaven because i chose to accept him as my personal Lord and savior.  He laid down his own life so that i could have eternal life. 

Even though i don't know exactly what my boy's will be doing on Easter Sunday i can only imagine that they are spending it in the throne room of God, in the very presence of the one who created them worshiping Jesus and singing with the angels and this gives some peace and helps to quiet the aching in this mommy's heart.


1 John 5:11-12 "And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.  Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life."

Romans 10:9 "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
