Good Friday

Well here we are again at another good Friday.  It doesn't seem like a year has passed since I was stressing about how to celebrate this holiday with my children the way Jesus would want us to.   I don't mean to offend anyone but come on--chocolate bunnies, eggs and baby chicks?!  What does that have to do with Jesus and the resurrection?  It seems more like a celebration of spring and reproduction to me. So that is what we do now, just started this year.  We have a spring party where we color eggs and do all the "Easter" things.  Then on the actual that we are supposed to be celebrating the resurrection of our savior, we will do just that. This way people can't say that my children are "missing out" on fun in their childhood by not celebrating Easter the traditional way.  They still get to do all those things just on a more appropriate day, the first day of Spring.  Which I think is a day to celebrate because it means the end of winter!!  Yay!! Anyway, enough rambling.  I hope everyone has a great weekend and remembers the real reason for celebration. Blessings--Jessica
