Family Events Provide Writing Material

It's early evening on Easter Sunday.  Baking cakes, cooking ham on the grill, and entertaining both young and old with a festive egg hunt have become a family tradition.  The young adults are just as eager to find their treasured eggs filled with wonderful surprises as are the young children.  The little ones so enjoy the excitement and gift bags and dyed eggs.  And then there is Joe and I.  We stand by and watch.  Our efforts of cleaning and preparation until the early morning hours are forgotten.  We know Jesus died so that we could live freely and prosper and are blessed.   We don't forget that.    We smile - we know we are creating family memories.  Perhaps, we are even providing material for the next generation to write about.
