As I prepared Eli’s first Easter basket I asked myself how can we make sure he gets the “true” meaning of Easter. Granted he is 5 months old and is not going to get the Easter Bunny either. I find when thinking about it that the Birth is so much easier to explain than the burial and the Resurrection, BUT without the burial and Resurrection where would I be. I pray that God gives me the wisdom and words to explain this to our little man. This year we got him the Bernstein Bears Easter Story which is great and I plan to read it to him.
Right now amidst the eggs, candy, baskets, and bunnies I just want to take a moment to celebrate the fact that JESUS arose on the 3rd day and sit at the right hand of the Father. AND because of this I am forgiven. HALLUJIAH!
Happy Easter! He is ALIVE!
