We had a blessed day. This morning's message was about redemption. A perfect Easter message! I'm so thankful that Jesus sacrificed His own life on the cross so that I may have life ETERNAL. His resurrection means everything to me!
After church, we went to my parents' house for a wonderful feast. Then we filled plastic eggs with candy and colored hard-boiled eggs. I asked Joel about the significance of "Easter eggs". He said that an egg has always represented "new life". I love that! :) While I'm not sure where the "hunting" of Easter eggs came from...I want my children to KNOW most of all about the new life they can have through Christ!
It was a beautiful day for an egg hunt! 65 and SUNNY. I have great memories of egg-hunting in the backyard, as a kid. There was always a surprise or two. One year it was a sea-pony. :) Those were fun bath-tub toys that squirted water! Another year it was a shirt. Anyhow, now that my Sister and I have our own kids, it's so neat to be the ones hiding the eggs and candy and helping the kids on their quest to fill their bags or baskets. Such fun!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!
