I know it is past Easter but I must share…
On the eve of Easter as I was putting my kids down for bed I was working through in my mind how I was going to tell them about the Resurrection of our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, to make them understand why WE celebrate Easter…
Having said that, I had to remember that they were only 3 and 7, and at that age the Easter Bunny seems a little more interesting.
So I was explaining to them that after Jesus died on the Cross he came back and was resurrected.
I used my arms in BIG motions, spoke in Motherese so that they would hopefully understand and enjoy it…
So what I’m saying is I made an effort…
At the end of the story the 3 year old says, “Does the Easter Bunny still come after we get resurrected?”
As I tried not to laugh and realized that I went as far as I could that night, did my duty, I said, “Of course, all things good come after we are resurrected.”
Luckily in this case…the truth DID set me free!

Kids come up with the darndest things dont they!! The other day my son asked me if his fish, Lightning McQueen, went to heaven when he died…. Threw me for a min and than I figured God liked pretty Beta fish too, so I said yes. Next he asked, do angles have aquariums? Sure, why not… He paused for a second and you could just see those wheels turning in his little mind… than he say WOW those aquariums must be HUGE, lots of fish die! I am glad someone is taking care of Lightning McQueen… followed by the daily question… Mom… whats for dinner? (and the answer was FISH… ugh wrong day to have salmon huh???)
