Empty Tomb On My Easter Mantel...

Better late than never - I've reworked my mantel to offer a taste 

of Spring and Easter.  And look what happened...
 

 ...a version of the empty tomb appeared!  (yes, that's a birdhouse...)  

I wasn't planning to use it this way - it just sort of happened.  

But it works I think - and what a great reminder that Jesus lives!

 The twig wreath is a reminder of the crown of thorns Jesus wore for me.  

And purple?  It's the color of royalty - for My King Jesus.

 The bibles hold the Easter story - from beginning to end -

and were once lovingly held and read by my parents.

Paging through them brings tears, smiles and all sorts of emotions

as I read their notes and verses that shaped their lives. 

How very blessed I am to have had this Godly heritage.

May yours be a blessed Easter.  And if Jesus is not the King of your life - 

please consider inviting him to that role this season.

 I promise, there is no better Ruler and no better Kingdom to join.
