O Beloved, reclaim the easter egg!
Would you consider taking back what was made for good in the first place that others would use for evil and reclaim it back for good? Oh yes, indeed I would and have.
We have a wonderful opportunity to bless our husbands, children, homes and yes, even GOD by reclaiming the easter egg. As wives and mothers, we can set the atmosphere of our homes. We can create opportunities for making loving memories to recall for the entire family to embrace and remember innocent, clean fun.
Decorating boiled eggs is fun! I have SWEET MEMORIES about Easter because I remember decorating boiled eggs, easter egg hunts, waking up on Easter morning to find an easter basket with goodies in it for me to enjoy, dressing up in pretty clothes and shoes to wear to church to celebrate the risen Christ, and sharing a special meal with family members gathered around the table.
ALL THE ACTIVITIES LED TO THE TRUE MEANING OF WHAT CHRIST DID ON THE
CROSS. DEAD, BURIED AND RESURRECTED FROM THE DEAD.
3 DAYS LATER CHRIST ROSE FROM THE GRAVE. HE LIVES. Each year we remember and celebrate.
Mom would always make deviled eggs from the eggs we had decorated and serve them during the easter day meal. Sweet memories that my Parents encouraged within their family during Easter. For my own children and now grandchildren, I have copied decorating eggs, easter egg hunts, easter baskets and using pastel colors to glorify Christ.
The early Spring days and pastel colors bring comforting thoughts to me.
How's about you?
Reclaim the practice of decorating boiled eggs and have a easter egg hunt.
Well, how is this going to bless God? I'll explain.
Who created in the first place the chickens that lay eggs for humans to enjoy? This would be ALMIGHTY GOD.
He created the egg in the first place. It was meant for good. Somewhere along the way if pagans misused eggs for their evil deeds, reclaim the egg. Now there are some that are refusing to decorate eggs because they believe that to decorate eggs is glorifying ungodly pagan practices.
I decided a long time ago to reclaim what was meant for good to be used for good and because some misguided pagans used what was made for good in the first place was grossly used for evil, to take it back and reclaim it for good for the GLORY OF GOD.
I consider God to be a creative artist. We can imitate Him and be creative artist ourselves for His glory.
We can teach our children "WHO made the egg in the first place" and that we worship God, not the egg.
The decorating of eggs for easter can be a pleasant and fun activity for the entire family. Having an outdoors egg toss is fun. Hiding boiled eggs for people to find is harmless fun.
Resurrection Sunday is an awesome day to celebrate. The King James Bible does mention EASTER in it, so I'm not going to get all hung up on using EASTER to describe Resurrection Sunday. Praise God, I know that the Lord Jesus is risen.
He is Risen indeed.
Pumpkins were created by Almighty God as well for enjoyment for humans. There are some that don't want to decorate pumpkins in the fall because pagans did gross things to people and they don't want to copy pagan rituals with pumpkins.
Again, I say reclaim what God created for good in the first place and use for good now.
Did not God give us dominion over the earth? According to His Word, He did.
Because there are pagans and people who misuse and abuse sexual intimacy outside of marriage and don't follow God's Holy instructions for sex, I won't be discouraging married couples to stop enjoying a healthy sex life within their marriage when following God's counsel and healthy guidelines. Enough said.
AND BY THE WAY, I DON'T HAVE A HANG UP ABOUT THE EASTER BUNNY,
EASTER BASKETS AND CHOCOLATE EITHER. Especially chocolate.
Reclaim decorating the easter egg for God's Glory!
Hopping right along,
Deanna
