The Month of April - Happy Easter

The month of April represents a few things that I love – Easter, pansies, hot cross buns and school holidays. Which I think is more fun for my daughter, but to have a house full of teenage girls with Blackberry phones, loud music and laughter warms my heart!!

I just adore the childlike portrait of Easter - bunnies, colored eggs and pastel colors. It really brings back childhood memories of Egg hunt and receiving those beautiful big chocolate bunnies or hens, and not even to talk about the plain white ones that look like real eggs. Those are actually my favorite.

But, just like Christmas it is not about the bunnies and the eggs, it is so much more!! It is a time to reflect and to be so grateful for the biggest gift ever received.

In Christ alone my hope is found,

He is my light, my strength, my song;

This Cornerstone, this solid Ground,

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm,

What heights of love, what depths of peace,

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!

My comforter, my All in All,

Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! - Who took on flesh,

Fullness of God in helpless babe!

This gift of love and righteousness,

Scorned by the ones he came to save:

Till on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied -

For every sin on Him was laid;

Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay,

Light of the world by darkness slain;

Then, bursting forth in glorious Day,

Up from the grave He rose again!

And as he stands in victory

Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,

For I am His and He is mine

Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death.

This is the power of Christ in me;

From life's first cry to final breath,

Jesus commands my destiny.

No power of hell, no scheme of man,

Can every pluck me from His hand;

Till He returns or calls me home,

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand!
