If you follow our blog, you will remember last year we did a big countdown with "hands on" activities and wall art. (
click here if you want to read the blogs) This year we are having a hard time getting into the "Spring Fever" since it still feels like winter and we are freeeeeeezing because it is past the time for our building to be legally allowed to burn coal.....HOWEVER.....we are trying to make our own fun inside and begin the countdown to the most important holiday of the year! Matt's family sent us "Resurrection Eggs". Many of you may use these. They are plastic eggs that each contains a special "object". Each day we will open an egg and discuss the
object and its relevance to the holiday. Today we found a donkey in the egg. The scripture with it was Matthew 21:1-9 This is the account of Christ riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. The people proclaimed him
Prince of Peace.
"Hosanna, Hosanna - Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!" The text that came with the eggs asks the question, "Did you know that when things seemed to be going well for Jesus, it was easier for people to love and follow him? But when the Jewish leaders challenged Jesus by saying He was not the Son of God, the people began to be afraid."
Our family thought for the day is: 1) When is it hard for me to follow Christ? 2) When should I proclaim, "Blessed is He"? May you be richly blessed today and find true peace that only comes from Christ. AT
