A week or so before Easter I was having a conversation with Lily about what Easter was all about. I said, "Is it about the candy and eggs and treats?" And she thankfully replied, "No, it is about Jesus." So we started talking about why it was about Jesus. I briefly explained the Crucifixion and then asked her, "What happened after Jesus was in the tomb?" Hoping she would reply, the resurrection, I was surprised with her answer. She said in a very thoughtful, honest and disappointed way, "Jesus missed Easter." I laughed so hard! I explained that no, Jesus did not miss Easter, but that we have Easter because He was resurrected. I love digging into my children's minds. It is so fun and often times funny to see how they perceive things. I am so thankful for their innocence and simplicity.
