On my brother's mission, he had a companion whose mom sent them a package. In the package was, due to their family tradition, 8 easter eggs. Inside each egg was a symbol of Easter, along with a scripture. Though my brother could not remember all of the symbols and all of the scriptures, I thought this would be a fun way to combine something in the spring that represents new life (easter eggs) with the symbols of Christ. I came up with some of my own symbols/scriptures that I felt were important to remember. We open one each day, the last one always being opened on Easter Sunday. Here they are in order.

Without Easter There Would Be No Christmas
I was thinking a lot this year about the Easter holiday. We do all of these special things during Christmas to bring the Spirit of Christ into our lives. But what about Easter? For our family, it's never been "as big" or as anticipated as Christmas. So, I spent last Christmas trying to make it less commercial and this Easter trying to make it "more important". For without Christ's resurrection and glorious victory over death, we would not be celebrating Christmas either.

I'm Back!
I have been contemplating what I really want to use this blog for. The truth is, I feel like more people read our family blog, so I'd like to post more personal, passionate things there. However, I think most people go to that blog to see what's going on my family life. So I decided to keep my passions here. Be on the look out for more posts again on saving money, natural birth, being a mommy, improving my homestead, and other items I'm passionate about.
