Today was Garrett's Easter egg hunt at school. It was so much fun being around kids & parents & teachers whose focus was on the true meaning of Easter. We sang songs with the kids, iced easter egg cookies, prayed & then went on an egg hunt, on this amazing, beautiful day in April! I had fun, of course, what mom's don't love carrying around a 14 mo. old who can't walk yet, who wants EVERYTHING in sight! ha! I must say, going to my kids school parties, is a part of what I love about being a mom. Because before long, they don't want you at their parties! ha! Today's weather for Garrett's easter party could not have been more beautiful! I am so thankful God gave us a fun day outside with all the kids! I have a poem that Garrett brought home from school that could either represent the colors of eggs or jelly beans, or whatever little 3 years olds want to imagine & what Easter means to them:
- Green....upon the ground for Jesus for his parade one day.
- Purple...that Jesus shared with his friends a meal of bread and wine.
- Red....that Jesus loves us so much that he died for me and you.
- Brown...reminds me of the sad place that was our Jesus' grave.
- White...who gladly said, "He's risen! Our Jesus is all right! (I love that one!)
- Yellow....reminds me of that Easter and what our God has done.
Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will have life even if he dies. And he who lives and believe in me will never die." John 11:25
Ohhhh how I love the minds of children & what amazing promises that they learn at school from their teachers. I enjoyed today, being with my sons, hunting for eggs, enjoying the sunshine & the smiles on my boys faces as they inhaled candy! ha!
For now, I leave with a sensitive spirit to how important & special the life of Jesus Christ is to me on this Easter weekend.
He is Risen! Let's continue to celebrate His life not just on Easter, but every day for the rest of our lives.
