Amazing Love ~ by Mel

Could there be anything more amazing than the love of Christ? This week's i heart faces contest theme is Easter. I was going to blog a little something about Easter yesterday but I decided to just wait until I posted my picture for the week as I knew it would give me a great chance to express my feelings.  

I have the distinct privilege of teaching in a Catholic school where I can share my faith with students on a daily basis. This past Lent we focused our hearts on the love of Jesus. As a class we talked about how we could prepare our hearts to be ready for Easter. We learned the Stations of the Cross, discussed the importance of Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday and delved deeper into the Easter story.   We even had our own Last Supper as a class. (grape pop included) :) The students learned so much and I truly believe they have a great understanding of the depth of the love of our Lord.  As their teacher I found it not only rewarding to see each child grow in his or her faith but it was also a chance for me to focus my heart.  What an amazing act of sacrifice.  Jesus gave us the gift of his life so that we might all live.  We celebrate and sing Alleluia to our King!

Happy Easter and God Bless you all!

About my photo~ A little info about my photo: These are two students in my class. I meant to blur their faces (in case you were wondering)--I wanted all the focus to be on the crucifix that each girl is holding.  Incidentally, we made those as an art project out of clothespins and they turned out really beautiful. They will be a keepsake and reminder of our Lord's love for years to come.

Kid's Entry

This week's theme at i heart faces is "My Friend and I". When you have a good friend you certainly can sense the love and care that strong relationship is built on. For my kid's entry I have a pic I took last summer of Ashlyn and Landon. They are brother and sister and are such little sweethearts! I love the look in her eye! Don't brothers and sisters make some of the best friends ever? :) My adult entry is cutie couple Alex & Jess who are getting married this July. They were posing for another picture so I got to snap this candid of them and it turned out as one of my faves from our shoot last summer.  Soon they will be taking vows to be friends for a lifetime!
