I pulled out the Resurrection Eggs from the Easter bin with the plan of leading the kids through them yesterday.  But as often happens when we’re hosting, the day got away from me and I just didn’t get to it.  We had a great Easter celebration in our house filled with family and friends.  Of course, I took no pictures, but it really was a wonderful day.

Today, Sunshine found the neglected Resurrection Eggs sitting on my desk and asked if she could look at them.  I said yes, feeling guilty and like a failure for having not shared them yesterday.  I should have learned my lesson, stopped what I was doing right then, and read through them with her.  But instead, I went on with whatever I was doing trying to clean up the house.

I turned around a short while later to find her in the family room with her Bible.  She had looked up every single scripture reference in the eggs.  On her own.  Her interest then had a domino effect and led Dumpling to look through his Bible, too.  Oh, these kids!

The Father was made strong in my weakness.  It’s amazing how He’s able to use even our failures, isn’t it?  Beauty from ashes.
