Hunting Easter Eggs

We decided to get a little practice hunting easter eggs this week because we are going to LTC next week. After potluck Sunday afternoon, several families planned on hiding/hunting easter eggs in the park but due to inclement weather, we hid them in the church's building. It didn't take long to hide them and it took even less time to hunt them! I wish our kids could clean as thorough and enthusiastically as they cleaned up those eggs!
I enjoy the easter holiday because it is a time where families come together. I like the thought of easter and the emphasis some folks place on easter as a celebration of Christ's resurrection. I wish folks would place that same emphasis on every day and not just on one day but if for one day I can have the opportunity to encourage folks to seek a relationship with Christ then I had better use that one day to glorify God, celebrate what He has done, is doing and will do so that others may be motivated to do the same. All-in-all, easter is an ordinary perfect day to glorify God.

I love Easter because I love that the world stops to say "WOW! Isn't the miracle of resurrection a great thing?!?" I just keep praying that it will become a part of their faith and not just a great story.

I have the hope. If someone comes to faith in Christ because of a family tradition of attending a worship assembly (even an easter egg hunt afterwards) then praise God!
