We had an Easter Egg Hunt today with Lighthouse for the Blind. Lighthouse is a state program that has worked with Sam and me since he was a newborn. I can truly say they are an awesome program, they just need more funding. It's great to have compassionate people that truly care for your child working with him. Today was fun. We got to meet some other families, it's really an exclusive club that we belong to and it's hard to get into it! It's always good to be around others that have similar life experiences. We talked about school and doctors. That's life. The kids ran around, played and ate. Bay News 9 was there and caught all my boys on video. That was cool, we just don't get the channel as we have satellite. We were interviewed by the St Pete Times...Sam is a superstar!
Then I went to Walmart after we got the kids home and settled and wouldn't you know it but there was a family out in front with free kittens! They were all scrawny looking and the people looked pretty rough too so instead of a bunny or a chick for Easter, we got the last gray kitten. After Jon quit rolling his eyes (he really didn't do too bad) he named her Gracie Cat. After our new church name- Grace Church. She's really long and thin like a pencil but very loving. The poor thing smells like cigarettes, hope she didn't get lung cancer! So that brought our cat total back up!
I included some pics from the Easter Egg hunt and one of Steve and Shad with our 3 dogs. Hope you enjoy them.
Have a blessed Easter, and remember it's not about the eggs or candy. It's about the price that was paid to set us free from sin! Of all the religions and cults in the world, there is none that have a Savior! Even the devil or man's foolish imagination could not make up a story like that- God that takes on human flesh and takes the penalties for our sins upon His body. Wow God really loves us!
