EASTER FUN
Holidays
are fun! Excitement builds as we
anticipate days off from school, possible vacations, family time, or any other
number of things we get to do. This is a
great time to focus on some family time and to plan an activity or two together.
Sadly, the world has commercialized Easter, and sometimes we forgo any
celebration in order to help preserve the sacredness of this special day. However, we can still do special things that
pertain to Easter without making our children concentrate on bunnies and candy.
Think
of things that are possibly associated with Easter, and put a spiritual
application to them. Decorating eggs can
remind us to be transformed to the image of Christ. Baby bunnies remind us that we need to grow
in Christ instead of remain baby Christians.
Candy reminds us of the sweetness of His love for us. Easter baskets remind us to think of others
and to be a blessing to our family members.
Tiny chicks remind us of the new life Christ brings. The possibilities are endless!
Yes,
we need to make sure our children don’t think of Easter the same way the world
thinks, but that doesn’t mean that we cannot have any fun traditions associated
with it. Have an egg or candy hunt in
your yard, put inexpensive gifts and a little candy in Easter baskets, dye
eggs, go shopping for new clothes if God has blessed you with the money to do
so, and have fun at Easter!
