Garrett's First Easter

Easter has not lost its meaning in our family and I love to see that represented in the next generation. I found myself missing Sunday School this Easter season. Remember how exciting the bible was the way you learned it as a child? Recall the excitement that was portrayed through every story and how it stuck with us as kids? Easter could get a little dark in the details but you still had the overall series of events and most of its meaning down by the time you were, what, four?!?

This recollection made me both excited and nervous for the Easter seasons to come (and other holidays). I want Garrett to get excited to hear those stories AT HOME! Can I be that interesting? Do I know enough of the bible? I know it's too early to actually feel any anxiety over this topic but I saw future Easters playing out before my eyes. Just knowing how quickly the past few months have gone, the Easters that he'll remember will be here before we know it. Maybe Mike and I should take a class!

Okay. I'm not really that nervous but I am reminded that parenting changes your perspective on so many things; now to include holidays and celebrations. I am so grateful to be a child of God who can be forgiven, taught, and blessed through His grace and His word. I've never felt like I needed it more than I do now with someone else relying upon me to share it with him. This little bunny has brought so much meaning to our lives. I look forward to every holiday and day with him in it. God is good. To Him be the glory (and in Him, the faith that Garrett finds us interesting for future holidays and bible story-telling)!

I hope you all had an amazing celebration with your own blessings!
