Please share this info with the senior mom in your life. Once the school year hits and she realizes there’s just no time in her senior’s schedule to get pictures, she’ll thank you for sharing this tip!

He is risen! He is risen, indeed! If Jesus can de He is risen! He is risen, indeed!

If Jesus can defeat death itself, then there is NOTHING in my life He can’t also defeat. Jesus has conquered it all.

Because of the empty tomb I can spend eternity with Jesus! 

Happy Easter, friends!
