Words Of Inspiration
Hello to everyone. I Pray that all is well with you and your families. Easter, Easter Sunday, Resurrection
Day. Which were you raised to believe and which do you teach your
children? I have always been sympathetic to those parents that struggle
with letting their children participate in the various community Easter
egg hunts. It is dis- heartening to the children to see friends carry
home bags filled with colored eggs, and sweet treats, and yet they
have been forbidden to share in the experience. Now some say "It's just
like Halloween, it's a paganistic celebration". But let's think back,
were you allowed to hunt for eggs? If you did, did you know it to be a
celebration of a giant rabbit, or did you know it to be a form of
activity for the children and the youth who had already so faithful read
their "Easter Parts", by memory, and could tell you for a fact why
Jesus Rose, for whom He Rose, all of the wonderful privileges that came
along with His Ascension, and probably even give you some Biblical
references to back it up? Were you aware that there were actual
teachings about our Lord and Savior, and that the children that were
taught these things recognized them and honored them, because there were
those that taught believed, walked and talked it? The eggs were a
pleasant surprise, the sweet treats welcomed, and made us highly
anticipative for our "Mother's Day" parts. We would get a surprise and
reward then too. Think about it? Of course, it is your decision. I
remember the old saying,"when you know better, you do better". I am
sure that there was much knowledge back in the day. Look at how far we
have come now.
Take Care,
