Happy Easter!

I’m trying to lift my mood whilst I lift yours. How about a bit of Easter humor?

The True Meaning of Easter

A Sunday school teacher was asking her six-year-olds about the meaning of Easter. “Children,” she said, “Do you know why we celebrate Easter?”

A little girl raised her hand. “Yes Jenny,” said the teacher.

Jenny said, “ Is Easter when we put on costumes and go trick-or-treating?”

“No, Jenny. That’s Halloween. Does any one else know?”

A little boy yelled, “It’s when we set off fireworks!”

“No Jimmy, that’s Independence Day. Anybody else?”

A shy little girl in the back said, “Easter is when Jesus died.”

The teacher replied, “That’s right, Shauna. And what happened to Jesus that makes Easter special?”

“Well, he died and got buried. And every Easter he comes out. And if he sees his shadow there’s 6 more weeks of winter.”

And, we’ll finish up with a few funny pictures:

 

However you celebrate it, happy Easter to you all!

    That blindsided me just after I took a swig of coffee. The screen looks festive with the little brown dots. That was the cutest story I’ve seen in a long time.
