This was my first Easter away from my family and it was definitely weird, but such a good day! I woke up at 5am to head to the Lincoln Memorial with my roommate Mia for the sun-rise Easter service. It was great to be there with hundreds of people celebrating the resurrection of Christ at the dawn of the morning. Mia and I also had a small Easter brunch together.
One of the things that really struck me today is that while I wasn't home in Rochester with my family like I usually am, the message of Easter doesn't change. It was a wonderful day full of different ways to celebrate, but it was all about Jesus and that's the important thing. Today at church before the kids were dismissed Pastor Joel talked about how Jesus is risen and I heard one of the little boys I teach in Kid's church say "YAY!!!" and it just made me smile! What a beautiful day...what a beautiful sacrifice...what a beautiful truth that no matter where we found ourselves today the reality remains that our Redeemer lives!!!
