Easter has always been an important day at our house. When our children were younger we read the Easter passages to them and talked about God's love for them and the world. We dyed Easter eggs, had great lunches and the all important afternoon Easter Egg Hunt. Never saw those kids set the table, eat, clean the table off, do some general clean up of the kitchen so fast. Sometimes I would be about half done with lunch and they would be clearing the table and washing dishes. "Yes I do mind if you have my plate and glass, I'm still eating here thank you!"
The hunt was always amazing, it had to be in the front & side yards. The dog would find the eggs and then proceed to eat them, it was not right he could smell them out & besides he never did learn to hide his eyes while we were hiding them. We always had the special GOLDEN EGG to be found, along with the egg with your name on it. At times we had to have multiple hunts for the GOLDEN EGG, that way everyone could find it. All of these are wonderful memories we will laugh about and cherish from now on.
The monuments were reading the Scripture to our children, and hearing it again ourselves. How God could give his all for us and all the world as well. That is just amazing! I know as a father &grandfather I would never sacrifice my children & grandchildren for anyone else. Especially people who were not the least bit grateful. GOD DID!!! We don't deserve His love but we are still the beneficiaries of this love. We are also the vessels in which he has chosen to pass this information on to our world. How great a love, how can it be? Thank you God.
