Sunday, March 23, 2008 Easterrific! By Luis A. Quibranza III
HEY kids! I guess you are all excited to find the most colored eggs and put them in your Easter basket. But before you do , here’s a little something we need to read.
Today, we celebrate Easter Sunday. But before we go grab our parents and force them to take us on a special egg-hunting mission, do you really know what Easter Sunday is all about?
Easter Sunday is a special day that celebrates Jesus coming to life from the dead. Nobody in real life has ever done that on his own. You see kids, Jesus is the real Superman.
He’s got no red cape, but he owns a simple white robe.
He may not spin webs to save us from bad guys, but He spins out a handful of stories with lessons that make us realize that sometimes, we are the bad guys.
His super-strength may not lie in big and mighty muscles, but true strength is found when He died for His loved ones: us.
So to celebrate today, say a little prayer thanking God for the wonderful things life brings us. From wonderful toys, great games and delicious candies to true friends, loving parents and cool company.
Then after doing so, grab your mom from her bed and ask dad to drive you to the nearest mall where they got all the goodies ready. If you win a big chocolate egg, you might want to share that with your mom. She’d appreciate it.
And here’s a little tip: hunt the Easter bunny; he knows where all the hidden eggs are.
