This week we have followed in the tradition of reflecting on the events of Holy Week together as a family. We pulled out our Easter box, which Sam helped me decorate and put together in 2015.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I love that the boys usually ask, “Is it time for the Easter box?” Something simple, but it holds meaning. It contains a small bag for each day of Holy Week. Inside each day is a picture cards, a Scripture card, an an item that represents the events in the Bible story. I found the idea on a couple of different websites and adapted it for our family.<\/p>\n

Our cat decided to check out the Easter box this year<\/p><\/div>\n

It has helped us to reflect on Scripture, enter the story of Jesus’ passion, and reflect on God’s immense love as exemplified in the death and resurrection of Jesus.<\/p>\n

Today we reflect on these words in 1 John 4:9-12:<\/p>\n

“This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.<\/span>\u00a0This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us\u00a0and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.<\/span>\u00a0Dear friends,\u00a0since God so loved us,\u00a0we also ought to love one another.<\/span>\u00a0No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.”<\/span><\/p>\n

May we live in this love.<\/p>\n
