Happy Easter!

This is the day we celebrate the resurrection of Christ! Or is it? I wasn't too surprised when I googled the word Easter and found countless images of colorful eggs, bunnies, candies, baskets, and various spring-like pictures. It appears Easter is just another holiday in which we overindulge ourselves with food and accumulate more "stuff." I suppose it is just another Americanized way of life. We gloss over the true meaning, throw in some candy, visit with family and we're good. We don't give thought to the fact that Jesus Christ died for our sins and arose and that it is a BIG reason to celebrate. Our sins can be forgiven. He paid the price!
I hope everyone has a great Easter and can take some time to reflect on the true meaning of the celebration.
