Between preparing for mock trial competition (my eighth grader) and trying to enjoy spring break with the other two (not so successful -- just so busy), the week has flown by. I could get caught up in all the details and forget what it's all about. But...
Jesus, my Lord and Savior, lived a sinless life, died undeservedly on a cross and rose again, just for me. And you.
Because of His sacrifice, I parent imperfectly -- and am forgiven.
I forget my purpose -- and am forgiven.
I drop the ball -- and am forgiven.
Because of His great love, I am never alone.
I am filled with His joy to carry me through
Even when life swirls and seems overwhelming.
Today, we are slowing down. I don't want Easter, Jesus' death and resurrection, the very source of Christian life, to pass by unnoticed. I don't want my daughter to get caught up in the Easter bunny, never hearing the message of the Easter Gift.
Yes, it's been a crazy week, but Jesus, I love You. Thank You for sustaining me when I'm running too fast. Thank You for encouraging me, nurturing me, and filling me with joy. I can't imagine life without You. Thank You, dear Jesus, for Easter and my gift of salvation.
Love, Karen

Wishing you and your family a wonderful Easter!
Have a blessed Easter! He is risen, he is victorious!
I read your post, I agree with everything you said. Not that I think this is completely necessary, but I never taught my kids that the Easter Bunny was real. But they knew darn well that Christ died for their sins and rose again! That has been the center of our beliefs and tradition for their entire lives, and I'm so happy it's so.
Thank you for your confirming post!
It's been a crazy week here too. Five out of six of us down with the stomach flu. Uh huh! Happy Easter!
Bless you Karen for your honesty and pure heart. I am sure you were blessed this Sunday and have His great love in you to help you face the week AND be a parent!
