I think it is easy to get caught up in the fun exciting part of Easter, hiding the baskets, finding the baskets, finding Easter eggs all over the yard, eating way more candy than any one person should ever eat in a day! While all of these are enjoyable, it is easy to overlook what is "Beyond the Jelly Beans"

This Easter we started the morning off by watching a movie recommended to us by Lora and Dan. Finding Faith in Christ! It was nice to start off our morning remembering Jesus Christ and the sacrafices he made for us. To spend some time together as a family and watching this amazing DVD. (If any of you havent seen this whether you are a church member or not) I do recommend it. It reminded me that this day is not about candy and egg hunts but about someone much larger in life than all of this.....Jesus Christ.
Thank you Lora and Dan for starting this tradition that I believe we should continue every year, and since Lora and Dan will prob come to our house each year it looks like it may be their tradition as well. So thanks again for encouraging us to see "Beyond the Jelly Beans"
Kelly,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the beautiful post... It's not often that I get to share my testimony of Jesus Christ with my family, and I was so touched by this movie that I couldn't imagine not showing it to those I love the most! Thanks for being the best sister eva...
Thank-you so much for this! Finding Faith in Christ is one of my FAVORITE churchy movies. It is amazing. What a neat tradition! I may have to borrow the tradition to start with my own family.
