Like many of my family and friends, we tried real hard to direct our focus a lot more on the real meaning of Easter this year.
I even listened to a talk by Gary Stevenson that suggested we start looking at Easter as a holiday that rivals Christmas in importance.
Don’t get me wrong–I love the other stuff too. The bunnies the chicks and baskets and eggs.
And then there’s the candy. Oh, yeah. Can we talk for a few days about the CANDY?!
But I also see that this day should mean so much more.
We are trying and I hope each year to do better and better at remembering that there would be no reason for Christmas…
if there wasn’t an Easter.
