A Lesson in a Colored Egg

When our children where little, Easter breakfast always started with a story.

Michael, my husband, would crack and peel a colored egg and continue something like this:

The shell represents two things; a heart hardened by sin & Christ’s tomb. His resurrection & the promise of salvation are illustrated by removal of the shell. As you allow Jesus into your life; your heart will soften and be made clean (egg white). When you are saved Christ’s light shines through you (egg yolk).

What started as a simple illustration became a tradition. Some day our grandchildren will hear the story too.

I believe that God has a unique plan for each of us. In January 2018, I was called to radically change many things in my life. In October of 2019, I completed an 18-month program to be a jail & prison chaplain. I also transitioned from administrative work to driving a school bus for Head Start. I am a wife and mother with 2 adult children. God encouraged me to start this blog, so I write when & what he directs me to. This blog is constantly evolving. I am currently in a season of reading and reviewing books, and writing about causes/services that I believe in.
