Every dead bunny has always stayed dead.
But Jesus is risen. He is risen indeed! Alleluia.
So we don't think these
have anything to do with this.
Which is why the kids didn't get any chocolate eggs or bunnies from us today.
Instead, we are heading out to Wal-Mart when they're all on half-price starting tomorrow! The girls are excited.
But today was all about Him, as it should be.
I know chocolate eggs are fun, and I'm not saying they're bad or wrong or anything. We've just gone out of our way to separate them from the religious aspect of the holiday. And the kids still get them, and they're still excited. But they're cheaper, so everybody wins!
I hope you all had a great day! Happy Easter! Labels: Easter |
Stumble It!
This is our 3rd Easter without my Mother-in-law. She used to do Easter up big with the egg hunts and huge Easter baskets. When she past away I felt it was important to continue this for the kids the way Grandma did it. Well I noticed that one of my children in particular was overly concerned with what she was getting for Easter. The next year I scaled it way back with one very small basket of candy, no egg hunt. Still one of my children seemed obsessed with what she got. This year I did nothing and my one child was not in a very good mood this morning. Even though leading up to today I was discussing what Easter meant to us. She came around during the day and before she went to bed she came to me and said this was a wonderful Easter. Hopefully she is starting to get it. Next year I want to work harder at doing meaningful things the week before Easter that will help reinforce why we celebrate Easter.
Smiles!
