Easter Giveaway

Posted by Marsha | 0 comments

Denise M. is the winner of this giveaway– CONGRATS!

Now that Spring is finally here (even if it doesn’t quite feel like it in some parts of the country), we begin to see signs of new life all around us.  The budding trees and greening grass also remind me that Easter will soon be here.  Easter– Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection– is the only reason that WE have new life.  Out of all the lessons that we teach our children, this is the most important!

Two of my favorite resources in sharing the gospel message with my children (and their friends) are Resurrection Eggs and a wonderful book called The Tale of Three Trees.

Easter comes alive in children’s hands with the memorable objects inside each of the twelve colorful plastic eggs. The different memory-grabbing objects take Jesus’ journey to the cross and beyond right into children’s hearts. Now with a revised bilingual booklet in simple language, discover how the anticipation, surprise, and experience of Resurrection Eggs® has brought the truth of Easter to children around the globe.

Once upon a mountaintop, three little trees stood and dreamed of what they wanted to become when they grew up… So begins this enchanting American folktale about three trees whose wishes come true in a surprising way.

To help you share the truth of Easter with your family, we would like to give away one set of Resurrection Eggs and the book The Tale of Three Trees (hardback). To enter, leave a comment telling us about one of your family Easter traditions– be it serious or silly, current or from way-back-when! Contest will close at 10pm on Wednesday, April 1st.

We don’t really have any Easter traditions at our house.  With my husband’s work schedule, we never know if he’ll be home or even if we’ll be home instead of visiting with family.  The only thing that we are sure to do every year is go to church.  I can’t think of a better place to celebrate Jesus’ great sacrifice and wondrous resurrection than God’s house!
