Happy Resurrection Day

This has been one memorable week. I still can't fathom all that Christ has done for me and you. What an AWESOME GOD we have! He is so worthy of our praise!

I want to wish you all a wonderful Resurrection Day with your friends and family. He is Risen!!! Hallelujah!!!

For those of you with little ones I found this recipe stashed away from last year and thought I'd share it with you.



Resurrection Rolls
Ingredients:
1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
8 large marshmallows
Melted butter
Cinnamon
Sugar


Directions:
1. Give each child one triangle shaped section of crescent roll. This represents the tomb.
2. Each child takes one marshmallow which represents the body of Christ.
3. Dip the marshmallow in the butter and roll in cinnamon and sugar mixture. This represents the oils and spices the body was anointed with upon burial.
4. Lay the marshmallow on the dough and carefully wrap it around the marshmallow.
5. Make sure all seams are pinched together well. (Otherwise the marshmallow will "ooze" out of the seams)
6. Bake according to package directions.
7. Cool.
8. Break open the tomb and the body of Christ is no longer there!!
9. Celebrate God's love!


UPDATE ON MOM: My mom was released Thursday from the hospital. She came home, got a great night sleep, went to dialysis on Friday and then........her blood levels were checked at dialysis and they were not good. I took her straight from dialysis to the ER across the street. She is back in hospital. My poor mom, she has been through so much. I didn't realize how dangerous blood clots were, and how tricky the medication can be to dissolve them. It looks like she will be spending Easter in the hospital. Please continue to pray for her.

My Mom

Please keep my mom Doris in your prayers. She has been through so much lately. She is in the hospital right with a blood clot in her neck. The doctors are doing their best to treat her. She can go home as soon as her blood levels are good.

Mom had surgery 2 weeks ago. She had a fistula put in her left arm for kidney dialysis and a catheter put in her chest. They will use the chest catheter to dialyze her from until her arm gets in good enough shape to be used for dialysis. This is how she had gotten the blood clot.

If any of you could say a prayer for her we would truly appreciate it.
