The Gayer's: Happy Easter

Sometimes with all the fun that goes with Holidays the true meaning and celebration can get lost. We do hide eggs and the kids get baskets . But I make sure they understand why we celebrate Easter. I thought all of this was going right over Jakes head. But today he saw a cross and said " Mom that is what Jesus died on, but now he not dead anymore. He alive " Yes babe he is ! We have little plastic eggs each filled with an item that is part of the Resurrection story. Even Jake at almost 4 can tell you what most of the items stand for. Just one more way to tell the story of what Jesus did for all of us . Whether you believe or not God sent his one and only son to live and then die for all of us. By doing so he paid the price for our sins. Not one of us is good enough to make it on our own. There is no deed or act we can do to earn way to heaven. But the good news is we don't have too. God sent his son to pay the price for all. All you have to do is believe that Jesus died for you and ask Him to forgive you for all your sins. It is a free gift. Which all of you know I love free things. I believe without a doubt that what the Bible says in both the Old and New Testaments is true. And that is why We celebrate this special day !
