You know we have never been big Easter Bunny promoters and this year was no different.  But we did actually have to talk about it with our kids.  They were talking about the Easter Bunny coming and I looked at them and told them that there was no Easter Bunny and that he would not be coming.  Then I asked them if they knew what Easter was really about and they all shared their thoughts on what happened to Jesus and what He did for us on the Cross.  I was really encouraged to know that they knew what Easter was all about but at the same time saddened that the world has turned it into "the Easter bunny" and loads and loads of candy. 

     Again during this season I was glad to have my kids home so that we could talk about the real reason for Easter and the great sacrifice that Christ made for us.  I know that they were not getting told that this is just a big story and that the "Bunny" is just as real as Christ.  All the more to keep them at home with me. 

     As a personal note...what an awesome thing that Jesus did just for me.  Even if know one else were in the world He would still have come for me and died.  How can you wrap your mind around such a great love for someone?  Do I have that much love...I don't know if I do?  I would hope but probably not.  Thankfully, the world doesn't have to wait for me.  I would fail ever so miserably. 

     Hope your Easter season was filled with all that God had for you.
