Friday evening was spent in communion with believers at our church. We quietly reflected on what Christ went through, nailed written praise on a cross and prayed with one another. I enjoy this day. It is a day to remember the power of Jesus' words, "It is finished." And indeed it is. Redemption was made complete. We were made right with God. There is nothing we can do to obtain salvation because Christ has done it for us.
We spent the weekend strolling around a very quiet Chisinau, dying Easter eggs and hanging out in the parks.
Sunday morning we enjoyed a nice Easter breakfast with the traditional sweet bread served on this holiday. Then we played a Balkan Easter egg game we learned while in Macedonia; our toddler made sure every egg was cracked. Then it was off to fellowship at church, where we greeted one another by saying "Hristos a inviat!" (Christ resurrected), and responding "Adevarat a inviat!" (Indeed resurrected!).
Thanks to Gigi, who sent us plastic Easter eggs, Josiah got to have his first Easter egg hunt. He was excited to open every egg he found and promptly eat what was inside. Lesson learned for this momma! Then it was off to our nearby park where we enjoyed the beautiful afternoon with other families.
