I spent Easter with Justyn and his family. It was his niece's first egg hunt.. and so.. it was a fun to see her meandering around the front yard looking for eggs..
I was part of the "hiding committee" that hid eggs around the front yard... as you can see.. i cleverly disguised an egg in it's "green-grass-bush" surroundings.. haha.. it almost looks like an egg in a nest.. except the nest is green.. not brown and made of twigs..
I am apparently giving this way too much thought..
In any case, Justyn's niece loved hunting for eggs that we ended up doing it twice!
Now.. my question is.. as a Catholic Christian.. or.. as any religion that believes in the life, death and resurrection of our Lord.. is it wrong for children to participate in Egg Hunts? Does it make them any less "christian" or does it really take away from the true meaning of this blessed religious holiday?
Lemme hear your thoughts.. and then I'll tell you mine.. and why I ask this..

Hmmm. I don't think participating in these kind of stuff makes anybody a lesser follower of Christ.
1. What makes us a follower of Christ is that His grace has reached out to us and we are living by faith. And nothing we do or dont do make us lesser in His sight.
2. I think God is a God of fun... And He created us in a way where we respond to fun stuff.
3. Even if certain things are of 'pagan' (i put it in quotes cos i am not too fond of the way we, the followers of Jesus, use the word) it depends on how you use it. Don't know if i am making sense, but we can talk about this in detail later.
4. As long as we are not losing out on the true meaning, the peripherals do not matter, i think...
Dropped by through blogmad. Nice blog. Will visit again.
