Last night I was browsing through this blog’s analytics data, and happened upon a visit from bobbyandkathryn.blogspot.com. Not only was I excited to find more friends in the blogosphere, I was also particularly impressed with their most recent posts. In addition to a loving tribute to Kathryn’s brother, there is also a thoughtful post about the sacred significance of Easter.
The post got us talking. Where should Easter eggs and the Easter bunny fit in the whole scheme of things? I mean, the kid in us loves that stuff, don’t get me wrong, but does it detract from the weightier matters? I’m sure we’ll be especially mindful of this in years to come. I certainly am grateful for our Savior and the hope that the Easter message brings me.
This year we did take a little time to do the kid stuff, however. Kristie woke me up with an easter basket full of chocolate (yay!) before church:
and we had a do-it-yourself egg coloring hour ’cause the grocery store had sold out of those cheap-o little kits the night before. It worked out great, thanks to a little help from eHow.
You’re questioning the significance of bunnies?! ;) Ok, maybe that’s blasphemous…sorry…
