Easter Weekend ~2014

We had the blessing of being able to visit Samuel on both Friday and Saturday for two hours each. What a blessing! (We normally only get to see him on Saturday).

On Friday we had our usual "picnic" of beef jerky, chips, soda or juice, and a candy bar. We spoke of that Unspeakable Gift - God's Son - Who came and died for our sins - that we may have eternal life.

On Saturday, we went back, had another picnic - we added cheese stix this time :-). We read a passage of Scripture: Matthew 26-28, and sang a few hymns. Samuel read the complete passage and it was so beautiful to know that "because HE lives - we can face tomorrow."

We had this picture taken while there...

~We're thankful for all the seemingly little gifts. 

Every moment is precious.~

This is one of the songs we sang together. This version by Il Divo is one of my favorites:

He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. ~Matthew 28:6

Samuel told us that these lyrics keep coming to his head ( the first part - not the whole song - but I thought I would post the whole song anyway...)

The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be sun!
Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow
'Til there's none!
When I'm stuck with a day
That's gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
Oh
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
I love ya
Tomorrow!
You're always
A day
A way!

They have a saying in prison, "Do you." ... This is how we would put it in our vernacular :-) ~
