However, like most kids, my children expect something at Easter time, preferably a large basket of candy. I wanted to give them something, but I really didn't want to spend tons of money or fill them with junk. Instead I gave them two things. I bought them a $5 movie ("The Little Rascals") and plaster eggs for painting.
Do you remember the plaster that the kids painted 3 years ago? I can hardly believe its been that long! Ian is showing Patricia's bug off here, even though he wasn't around at the time:
I bought 1/2 a dozen plaster eggs for the kids to do this year. It came with one "difficult to use" brush, so we each took turns painting ours.
We're spending our Easter weekend at a Bible conference in Michigan, so we were able to paint our eggs early. The kids were slightly disappointed that they didn't get loads of candy this year. But I'm happy that we get to spend our time learning about our Lord who gave His life for us and then took His life back again.

Amen! It's awesome that God gave the message for thousands of years through the Israelites that every Spring, they celebrate being freed from Egypt through the death of the innocent.
Even more awesome is that many cultures celebrated resurrection even before they heard about the Bible, also around this time of year. God has been giving His message of death and resurrection since the beginning of man and now we have the opportunity to shine light on that veiled message by revealing that it was all fulfilled in Christ Jesus!
