What a glorious day to celebrate Easter! We rose early so that we could spend the morning surrounded by God’s magnificent creation. The view from atop the mountain is always such a sweet reminder that we serve a powerful yet loving God.
This morning we took the gondola to the summit of Aspen Mountain for “crunchy” church. Today was the 40th annual sunrise service hosted by Aspen Chapel on the mountain. It was definitely not the traditional service that we’re accustomed to attending on Easter morning. For one thing, we wore our ski gear! The view was truly awe-inspriring, though, and I felt so thankful to be worshipping the promise of new life in such a spectacular setting.
After the church service concluded, we skied over to Bonnie’s for breakfast on the deck. Then, we decided that since it was such a gorgeous bluebird day, we’d stay and ski Ajax for a few hours. It was so warm and sunny that we didn’t even need jackets. Cheers to spring skiing! I think we may have a new Easter tradition….
The dogs didn’t miss out on today’s festivities. The Easter Bunny laid fresh golden tennis balls for Denver and Ollie, so we went to the park to play fetch this afternoon. It’s crazy to think that a week ago the park was still mostly covered with snow. We hope the sunshine and blue skies are here to stay!
I hope you had a Happy Easter, too! He is risen!
