How many of you parents have heard that from your kids regarding going to Easter Service? I have heard it the last two years. Easter is more fun.......we get candy and eggs and we are at that difficult age where getting is a focus. I don't like it but I know it will pass.
So this week I heard that again as I am prepping myself for service Good Friday. This year I had an answer. If we don't have Good Friday then we don't have Easter.
We make no mistakes about it in this house what Easter is really about. We don't worry about a bunny. I can't spin the bunny. I can spin Santa, but, not the bunny. It has nothing to do with the resurrection. I do make sure she does not tell other people's kids however.
We have read it over and over again in our Bible's.....what happened Good Friday, but, seeing a visual really hammers it home. I posted one on my page on facebook that combines Nichole Nordeman's song "Why" with a video. Pretty powerful stuff.
