Easter Sunday

Despite all the excitement and effort that goes into my Halloween and Christmas, Easter is probably (at the very root of things) my most favorite holiday. It's the perfect time to pause to remember Christ and all he sacrificed for me and all people.

This section of scripture really sums up my feelings on Easter nicely:

1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

6 He is not here, but is risen 
-Luke 24:1-6

 Behold, I have graven thee on the palms of my hands -- Isaiah 49:16
