Beyond the plastic eggs, grass-filled baskets and sweet, sugary confections, there’s a message waiting to be stamped on the hearts of our children….a message of redeeming life and all prevailing hope.
Hope that transcends our yesterdays, captivates our todays and leaves us anticipating our tomorrows.
Yet this hope can often be difficult for our children to grasp, and sometimes we have to look for creative, intentional ways to bring hope to life so the gift can saturate their tiny, moldable hearts and carry them to the lap of God.
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14
So many times these intentional efforts become such a rich experience that before we know it, a family tradition is born.
Today on Fresh Market Friday, I want to bless you with a couple of special traditions from my family to yours…
Good Friday Cake
The Empty Tomb Easter Cake
Names of God Easter Egg Hunt
“Want to know the coolest thing about the One who gave up the crown of heaven for a crown of thorns?
He did it for you. Just for you.” ~Max Lucado
