I like this post Gregg. I have been struggling this year with just how to celebrate Easter. We have, typically, never really done too much of anything, but I wanted to shift the focus this year to the ‘real’ meaning of Easter. My seven year old now knows the truth. That, although he has never visited our home before, there is no Easter Bunny that magically brings baskets and eggs and gifts. We didn’t even dye eggs this year. I am fine, however, with the egg ‘stuff’ that the kids bring home from school, and the gifts that their Grandma’s HEAP upon them. :) I will be sure to remind and repeat what Easter is REALLY all about, and although our Grandma’s are generous to give us gifts from them(grandmas), the thing we need to be TRULY thankful for is that God sacrificed His son for us and that we can live our lives because of that. We will be thankful for the miracle that occurred many thousands of years ago inside an empty tomb. I, myself, am relatively new on my journey to faith and this Easter has meant a lot to me and I am glad to be able to share that with my children.
Thank you Gregg this was very helpful to for me. God bless
