I've been hoping to have a passover seder meal in our home this year, but my husband may be out of town. Sad about that, but looking forward to celebrating Easter! Your detailed plan is going to save me much work and make it possible to teach my children more.

Last year we found--hidden deep among all the chocolate bunnies--some Christian chocolates and so gave those out. I have been straining to think this year on what to give and if I will be able to find anything. The search begins! Thank you so much for this post, Monica. :)<BR/><BR/>P.S. Are any of you old enough to remember wearing the white gloves for Easter? I would LOVE to do that again but have never run across any.

My favorite song on the video is called, "Jesus Said, 'Yes.'" It's about how Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. I ALWAYS tear up when I hear my kids sing along. I want them to always say, "Yes," too, no matter what the cost...just like Jesus did!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02530332005314466736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-69657904168020146132009-03-16T18:15:00.000-04:002009-03-16T18:15:00.000-04:00One of your spiritual gifts must be teaching becau...One of your spiritual gifts must be teaching because you are a natural!

Can't wait to read how you're planning on the Seder. We also do the resurrection eggs with our kiddos. Last year we bagan the tradition of making Easter Story Cookies the night before Easter. http://www.dltk-bible.com/recipes/easter_story_cookies.htm <BR/>My guys are little chefs & like to follow recipes. It was very hands on & involved reading the scriptures along with each part of the ingredients. I started to cry when we had to beat the pecans (symbolizing Jesus being beaten for our transgressions). It was very touching & got thru to all of us.TX Doodlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066198638577897704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-21007061362680683262009-03-16T11:47:00.000-04:002009-03-16T11:47:00.000-04:00Wonderful ideas, Monica!
