Easter Thoughts

Ok so I have to say that this is the best Easter Book EVER. We have been trying to teach Alex that Easter is not all about the Bunny and candy and little fluffy peeps that you bite their heads off of. It is more important to us that he know that Easter is about what Jesus did for us and not about the commercialisms behind what it has become. This book tells about the story of a town that lost real meaning of Easter and how no one could remember why the started to celebrate Easter. A little boy questions it all and finds the true meaning of Easter. Great Book and a great reminder of what Jesus really did for us.

Here is a part from the book that nearly brought me to tears because of God's love for us and Jesus' ultamate sacrafice for us:

"Then Henry told the story of when God sent his own Son

And how He lived among us and all the deeds He'd done.

"And after years of teaching some and healing many others,

He gave His life foe everyone--His sisters and His brothers.

Upon a cross, He took our sins. 'Forgive them God,' He said.

He died--but three days later, He rose up from the dead!

So now when Easter season comes--the some time every spring,

It's Jesus we should celebrate. His praises we should sing!

With wide eyes Sam just listened--he sat there in a daze--

And after hearing that great tale, he really was amazed.

'There's nothing wrong,' old Henry said, 'with bunnies, eggs, and things,

But something's wrong when we forget the One who's King of Kings.'"
