Today we were sitting at McDonalds with some precious friends (yes we do take them to THAT place!) and our little friend was reciting his memory verses. He is a very articulate little guy and he and Emery have become great friends. I didn't say anything to Emery about the verses that we have been memorizing because it had been awhile since we had reviewed our current verse. We continued to eat our lunch and then Emery looked up and said, "Chang! (that is what she calls our friends mom)my verse is "He is not in the grave! He is alive!" It was a sweet moment for this mommy as I had reviewed our Easter season and thought to myself, "Did we tell her enough? Does she get it?" But it is not the fact that she just understands Easter. We celebrate Easter each day we live. The special music at our church had a line in the song about "death is conquered today" and in my mind I heard, "and today, and today...everyday!" We are to live victoriously because the Victor lives. Our children should see us walk in the victory that He freely gives because what He did on Easter. I pray that Emery and Ivy would walk victoriously in the Freedom that Jesus gives us and wants nothing more for us to have.
