May the gift of Easter continue to Bless you!

We got to celebrate the gift of Easter, not too long ago, with out Chapel buddies by coloring Easter eggs.  Many of our preschool buddies were coloring eggs for the first time!  I am thankful that Mrs. Short provided the eggs and coloring accessories for this event.  A few of our 5th graders peeled off the shells later that day to consume the hard boiled yolk, some for the first time.

We need to keep Jesus's sacrifice fresh in our daily lives.  By reminding ourselves of His sacrifice, it is my belief we can postively reach out to others with the Word, pull ourselves out of thoughts or events that are pulling us down, and resurrect our hearts and minds.    

Before we engaged in this event, Mrs. Engelhardt spoke with the students about the meaning of the Easter story.  She hid special eggs around the classroom for the students to find.  Inside each egg was brief Biblical discussion points about the events before, during, and after the death and resurrection of our Lord.

As each day progresses toward a warmer earth, with the promise of dormant life flourishing again, may be continue to share the good news about our LORD, who renewed us by going to the cross.  Through his death, Jesus removes the icy hands of sin and death, and equips us with the Word that
allows us to grow.

In closing, Isaiah 43:19 states:
Behold, I am doing a new thing;
    now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
    and rivers in the desert.
May the Holy Spirit continue to  comfort, guide, keep us in faith, and steer us toward the Word when we wander in our deserts and wildernesses.

Blessings!
Mr. P.
