Easter Road

Dear Lindsey put together a Jesse Tree of sorts for Easter. We'd both desired to begin celebrating this season more intentionally. In many ways, it should be the biggest holiday of the year.

We hope to make it more of one this year.

A day behind, we started today reading Matthew 20:17-19.
I hacked together a telescope to represent how Jesus could see into the future, knew how horrifically he was going to die, and loved us so much he laid down his life anyway. Thank you, Lord, for loving us like that.In addition to playing with a symbol of the reading for the day, I wanted to incorporate a garden of sorts, since that was so cool last year.

I decided to use the front yard, drawing the symbol for each day in chalk on the garden pavers, winding our Easter road to the cross and part of the bed where I hope to make a tomb and roll a stone in front. I know Reece will love it, and I hope we'll get to share it with others too.Got back inside and Reece propped his telescope up to the Jesus statue. Pretty cute.I'm looking forward to this year's Easter road, and hoping to make a new tradition. I hope we can keep it up every day.
