Celebrating Easter

After coming off a 40 day season like Lent, which can be emotionally exhausting, who wants to dive into a 50 day season filled with its own high's and low's? Not me. At least, that is what I used to say.

The husband and the whole family go through so much stress during Lent and now it's spring. There's so much spring cleaning to get done, the kid's want to get out, and who could forget having some fun after all the craziness. But I did not anticipate the oldest child.

She loved the Lenten Links that we did as a family. She wanted to know what season was next and what we were going to do for it. The mother's internal dialogue went something like this, "You have got to be kidding me! I guess the Links worked...oh dear, she makes a point...what should we do for the next season?"

Thank goodness for Celebrate Easter's 50 Days by The Word Among Us. There are some really great ideas and suggestions on how to celebrate the Easter season without a great deal of stress or preparation. Check it out and if your family has a special way of celebrating the Easter season please share.
