We colored eggs this morning and the kids have been having Easter egg hunts all day! They are very good at finding eggs! I am so grateful for my kids, they are so enthusiastic and give me so much joy! They are trying to earn money to go to Disneyland with Grandma. It has been a good insight to their personalities and their shyness. The project for this week is making bread and cinamon rolls for friends and neighbors. The kids walked around the neighborhood and sold to everyone they talked to! 100% success without Christian or Elizabeth saying a word. Meliah did all the talking (pretty much) and didn't seem to mind. I have really appreciated the small things lately, partly due to some of the conference messages and partly due to knowing that I have this time only once. But probably more than anything, I'm able to focus on them more than I've ever been able to before. The Easter egg has so much significance to the meaning of Easter. We have a set of eggs that my mom made for us that I love. It helps the kids to have a little fun and to hear about the resurrection at the same time. The eggs are numbered and they each have an item and scripture in them that tells of the story of the resurrection. The last egg is empty with the scripture in Matthew 28:6, "He is not here: for he is risen". I know that on the 3rd day after he was mocked and scourged and crucified that he was risen. I know that he lives and that we need to follow him, trust in him and try a little harder to be a little better!
