Easter as Renewal

Being a mother of young children is a blessing, but it is also very tiring. It is easy, as children start to enter school age, to become more and more busy. As we become more busy the activities that were once very important can slip by.

It is important during the most significant religious holidays to take the time to be with our children, to read to them, to pray with them and to teach them the word of God. Each of us struggles with organizing our time, but each of us must remember to set priorities. Our priorities must be to God first and to our other commitments second.

This Easter be sure to share with your children the joy of Easter, not just the rush of Easter. Share with them the love of God by reading or telling them the very human story of Jesus death and the very heavenly story of his resurrection.

Have a joyful Easter.
