Making Easter about Christ!

Happy Good Friday!  In the midst of bunnies and chickens and pastel colors, it is still amazing to me that we can celebrate a day off from school, and shutting down our businesses for Easter and not truly celebrate the meaning of it!  Today Christ died on the cross for our sins and three days later was resurrected from the dead.  Our sins were paid in full!!!  Now THAT is something to celebrate.  ALL year long.  This year let's remember what Jesus endured and sacrificed for us, and teach our kids all about it.  I've found so many great Pinterest pins on Easter crafts to teach your children about the real Easter story.  Here is one of my favorites... Empty Tomb Rolls!  What an awesome way to explain the resurrection to young ones!
