Buck's Easter
Telling our two-year old the resurrection story was eggsiting with BENJAMIN'S BOX. Each chapter tells part of the Passion Week and has a small object hidden in an Easter Egg. The objects helped our little girl grasp each section of the story. Last night, she was able to tell my wife and me what she could remember about each object. Daddy, was very impressed. We used the story time as our family devotions, and concluded the time by thanking Jesus for His sacrifice and prayed that our two children will begin a relationship with Him at an early age.
After church, I hid a few eggs around the front yard. Our little girl thought finding those eggs was pretty cool. I told her that a special egg had been hidden, it was empty and represents the empty tomb. She was actually pretty excited when she found an egg that was empee.
Just in case you think a two-year old can't get all this, my daughter began repeating the word obey as she lay in her bed yesterday. Then I heard her say Not obey; sin. I think she's getting it. She also associates sinning with hurting Jesus.
As we celebrated the resurrection of our Savior, my wife and I were reminded of the simplicity of the gospel and passion stories.
He is risen!
