An Easter Egg For Jesus ~*Marge Tindal*~ Frilly dresses, Little bow ties, Colored eggs hidden all over the lawn. Baskets in hand, Scurrying to get it done. Find the one that has my name, No other one would do. Mom and Dad knew just where to place them and just where to point me to. Hurry, hurry ! Find 'em quick as you can. Cause when they've all been found, we can do it all over again. Tiny little Easter eggs scattered about the lawn. Pretty frilly dresses my sister and I put on. Mommy and Daddy hid the eggs as carefully as they could then they help us find them that was really good. Easter baskets filled with candy And lots of toys that we thought were dandy. We headed off to church after the hunt was done. For the real reason for Easter is celebrating Jesus, the Son. And with mighty reverence we learned about God's love. He sent His Son to die for our sins and then to rise above. Mom said it's okay to do the bunny thing as long as we remember, Jesus is the King. I took one Easter egg and colored it in a special way. I hid it in my heart for Jesus to find every day. It's wrapped in love and written on it is His name. It's deep within my heart and I am glad He came. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Marge, how precious this is. All children need weaned from the Easter bunny and Santa to the reality of Jesus, our loving Savior, and it seems that weaning is sadly missing in far too many homes today. What wonderful, believing parents you were blessed with! |

Marge, You spoke to me once again. Such a wonderful poem! Truly shows the meaning of Easter. May God bless you as you continue to write. I can see the children as they search for the Easter eggs, yet grow up to search for the true meaning of Easter. And even the little ones who search for Jesus. Thank you for this poem. "Goodnight, sweet prince, and flights of angels guide thee to thy rest." -William Shakespeare, in "Hamlet" |

SandGrain~ If we can just fill their hearts with the message that Jesus is alive (and may be hiding in your Easter basket) we can rest assured that they will carry the message forward. I'm a big believer in the youth of today. God will 'wean' them - with our help and our love. David~ I truly thank you for your words of enthusiasm for this render. I think that we need to teach our little ones that Jesus is the reason we can believe in the Easter Bunny. With mine ... we never had an Easter egg hunt that didn't include our Jesus egg ... the child who found it was the 'special' child for the day. This mom still smiles at the 'halo' shines we were blessed with. Amy~ Thank you, dear. I'm pleased to have touched you with my messages of love. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
