Easter is such a happy holiday. It's just so sunny and bright! Even if the weather isn't. All of the cute little girls are in ADORABLE frilly dresses and even the little boys look so stinkin cute in their tie/suit/sweater vest/whatever their mom could bribe them into wearing that morning. And don't even get me started on the babies. Beyond words oh my gosh precious sweetness. I love it. I think it's also an excuse for some moms to put away the pants and break out the sundress. Even if there is a cardi over it :). I'm guilty of this and proud of it.
Springtime. Bunnies, and other baby animals frolicking in a grassy field filled with sunshine. Sigh.
Someone once said that Easter is a holiday "just for the kids" with the chocolate eggs and jelly beans.
Umm...stop. Wait. Hold the phone. Are you kidding me? Just for the kids?
Easter is for EVERYONE. And not in the candy sense. But in the Easter sense. Easter is also known as Resurrection Sunday. Now, unless those chocolate eggs are going to come to life, dancing around the room, I'm betting that term is talking about something else. Easter is about Jesus, plain and simple. Jesus died for everyone (not just the kids) and rose from the dead 3 days later. That's why we celebrate Easter.
He did this amazing act, this incredible gift for us. I can't even imagine it. Letting my child die so that everyone else can have eternal life. I'll be honest here. I don't know if I could do that. No, I'm darn sure I couldn't.
This is probably one of my top 3 fave songs...call me a sap but I sometimes get a little teary-eyed when I hear it. HE did THAT for ME? Wowsa. Now that's love.
Happy Easter.
