Although Easter consists of egg hunts, bunny rabbits, and your very best outfits, what I want to remember about this Easter is Cam's reaction as he finally "got" the Easter story.

The week before Easter Sunday, I tried to make our bedtime book one that kept with the theme and the season. We pile up in Cam's bed and enjoy a story before bed. It lures Maeve to the bed since she loves to read books. Cam grumbles as he wishes that Maeve wouldn't have to sit in the middle and about going to bed when it isn't even dark, but he finally succombs to the story reading. One that we read was very detailed but in simple terms. It took a long time for us to finish reading for all of the questions that I got from a very inquisitive little boy. Simple questions like: "I thought Joseph was Jesus' dad. Why does this story say that God was his father?" Maeve was very patient as we read through each page and answered each little thought that big brother was voicing. Then, as we finished the book, Cam stayed very still and said, "Mama, that story just broke my heart." Then, like always, he reached over and turned off his lamp. But, instead of saying the normal bedtime prayers, I was saying a thank you prayer that my little one was able to grasp the greatness of his Heavenly Father's love for him. '
