'Easter is coming soon. We have a great opportunity to share the story and love of Christ to those inside and outside our family.' - Y Bonesteele
When I was pregnant with my fourth child and had a 1-year-old, 3-year-old, and 5-year-old, I wanted Easter to mean something more than just eggs and candy. Yes, reading the Easter story from a storybook or listening to worship music focused on the resurrection were some ideas, but these weren’t novel enough. Pinterest had ideas of cross buns or paper plate crafts, but that wasn’t what I was looking for either.
As I reflect on this snapshot of my life, I can’t help but smile at how God is amazingly faithful to those who want to reflect Him. However, the kids dancing around shouting, “Easter is coming!” helped me realize that every little thing counts when we do it for the Lord. Our hearts, our thoughts, and our actions in trying to raise Christ-centered kids count, even when we think we failed.
