No new fancy clothes, no family Easter picture, no Easter basket, toys or candy - just Jesus. We've been teaching the kids the story leading up to Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection over the past days. Simplicity is so nice it helps keep our minds focused on the real thing we are celebrating. We been sharing the stories with the kids and finding age appropriate video clips to have them watch after. It is exciting to see them watch it, to see their emotions as the story leading to Jesus' death and resurrection played out and to hear them express what they feel and think about Jesus.
I want my kids to cherish in their hearts that the Savior of the world died like he did for all peoples so that we can be able to live with Him. My desire is for them to know their Risen Savior and to follow Him all of their days.
Thank you Jesus may we not forget what you have done.
