And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
Mark 16:6
Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:8-11
Those two verses sum up what Easter is truly about. We hope you will take time out to reflect on the true meaning of this most blessed day.
Zim here - In addition to real Easter traditions, there is (unfortunately) another custom here at Ao4 Headquarters of making us pose with decorations. Hmm. Fine. As long as there are treats involved. How 'bout Dave goes first?
 |
| "Relax, Zim! It's just a basket full of bunnies and pysanky!" |
He's right. Just a basket full of Ukrainian Easter eggs and stuffed bunnies. Not like there are any quilts around for mom to hang from our snooters or anything!
 |
| "Thanks for reminding her, Zim!" |
Oops. Well, nowhere but to go up from this photo-shoot, huh, Dave?
 |
| "Oh. My. Bunny..." |
Yikes. Sorry, Dave. Maybe I'd better take a turn.
 |
| "Just pose nicely by the Easter decorations - right, Mom?" |
She knows not to push the envelope with me. I mean, we all have our limits and mine are WAY different than the LabraDave's!
 |
| "The bunny is TOUCHING me, Mom! It's TOUCHING me!!!" |
Fortunately, Mom is well enough trained to know my limits.
 |
| "That's better. But I AM keeping an eye on you, Bunny." |
All of us here at Ao4 Headquarters would like to wish all of you a most joyous Easter!
«Христос Воскрес» “Christ has risen.”
«Воїстено Воскрес!» "Indeed He has risen!"
(Traditional Ukrainian Easter greetings)
With play bows, luv, and Easter blessings,
Zim, Dave and our mom and dad

Blessings to woo on Easter!
ReplyDeleteWoozers, we sure are glad we don't have that second tradition in our house - woo pups are really patient! (Our mom just digitizes our "costumes", she says it saves her the headaches, whatever that means, ha-roo roo!)

Happy Ressurection day!! It is a very blessed day! Love those Bible verses!!!! We know that Easter is not really about the eggs and bunnies but about our risen Lord, Jesus the Christ!

Beautiful Bible verses to remind everyone what a truly special day today is. Dave, are AMAZING!!! What a great photo shoot! Zim, you are handsome, too. and so patient with your mom! Hope you had a blessed day.

Happy Easter to all of you at the A04! We love the photos of you with the bunnies! Dave, you are quite the model. Zim, I'm more with you - I wouldn't like that bunny touching me either. Our mommy thinks your mommy should open up a shop because she loves those little bunny quilts so she'd have a long list of wants!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day!
Sadie
Happy Easter to all of you, too. Keep an eye on the bunny...we don't trust her...

ReplyDeleteWhat rich words of hope and joy.
