Easter! What a great day!

  Greetings Everyone!
          We just celebrated Easter this past Sunday. It was a quiet day for us. My husband, daughter, and I went to church. The worship service was wonderful. Then we came home and had a great meal and then took an afternoon nap. That afternoon, my daughter and I went to visit some friends. The wind was blowing like crazy, but it was still a beautiful day! Another great Easter! It is one of my favorite holdiays, with Christmas being my favorite one. It seems like every year the commercialism seems to make this holy day less than it is.It is more important to remember God sacrificing his only begotten Son, Jesus, to die for our sins, and then rise again.  Hallelujah!  Sure, I can remember growing up and getting a new dress and a Easter basket, but my memories also always include going to church and being taught about the real meaning of Easter.When I was 9 years old, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. What a day! My eternity with God had begun and I am bound for Heaven when God takes me home, because of my faith. If it wasn't for my belief in Jesus as God's Son and his gift of Salvation, Christmas and Easter would be meaningless to me. It's great to spend time with friends and family and  hunting decoratively colored eggs, or just plastic ones, and other fun festivities, but just don't forget the real meaning of EASTER~ celebrating Jesus's death and resurrection!
     I've started taking better care of myself, since  March 1st. I"m not on any certain diet, just cutting back, eating better, and exercising daily. I've lost 10 pounds so far! I know that's not much, but I"m not trying to lose it fast, but sensible. I didn't lose any weight last week, but I'm not gonna be discouraged. I realize that some weeks my weight will plateau. BUT, I"m starting to get back into old , smaller, clothes. Yes, that means success to me!  My indigestion and acid reflux has improved too. I am feeling so much better! Although, I have to say that I haven't been able to do this without God's help.I want to serve HIM with a healthy body. It says in scripture..."Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own." 1 Corinthians 6:19   (NIV)  I have been on several different diets and this one is the best~just learning how to eat properly.
    I"m gonna close now. I hope all my readers are having a great week! Take care and God Bless!
Love, Vik
