I hope everyone had a happy and meaningful Easter. We had a good Easter. Marilyn, Lisa's mom, was still in town so she spent Easter with us.
On Saturday, we dyed easter eggs and had an egg hunt with other families from our church. On Easter Sunday we went to church in the morning came home and rested and had our Easter meal in the late afternoon. We cooked up some ham, shrimp cocktail, sweet potatoes, scalloped potatoes, green beans, salad and dinner rolls. It was a great meal.
I was joking with Lisa that ham and shrimp are the perfect food choices for Easter. After all, it's because Jesus redeemed us and fulfilled the Law that we are not held to the ceremonial food laws of the Old Testament. And Peter's vision in Acts 10 reminds us what God deems clean is clean. So, being sanctified by Christ, and free in him, we can celebrate what Christ did by enjoying previously "unclean" foods. :-D
