The post below was originally shared on April 8, 2020. I decided to share it today because it was recently published in the Sunshine Weekly Newsletter which is part of Walking With Lambs – Nursing Home Ministry in the 21st Century.

When our children were 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.

Things have been a bit crazy between work, school, and some medical things in my household.
BUT
God is in charge. I need not worry!

This is such a neat way of teaching about Jesus to our children. I wish we had thought of it when ours were small. Thanks for allowing us to share your story in the newsletter last week. The people love these and I keep needing to print more!

What a great visual for kids (and adults), and it focuses on the reason we celebrate Easter.

For some reason I haven’t seen you on my feed for awhile I’ll have to check out as to why…🤔
Hoping you have a blessed Easter time.
