Happy Birthday to my beautiful daughter Renee and my grandson Elijah, both celebrating a birthday on April 16. We will be celebrating at our Easter gathering.
Saturday 9: This Is the Way the Bunny Hops Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) Why do you suppose there are so many songs about Santa Claus, yet very few about the Easter Bunny? Easter is about Jesus and so is Christmas. There are lot of songs about Jesus!
2) This song was written by The Kiboomers, two early education teachers who are passionate about the power of music to help kids learn. Tell us about a teacher who had an impact on your life. I had a lot of great teachers both at school and Sunday School. My greatest teacher is Jesus.
Jesus himself used the term when he said, “You call me Teacher and Lord, and rightly so, for that is what I am” (John 13:13). I did have some special teachers all through school. I did a whole page at my Website. I also added at the links bar above.
3) Legend has it that the Easter Bunny was introduced to America in the 1700s by German immigrants.
These children waited for a magic creature who left colored eggs. Today's kids dye Easter eggs themselves. When did you most recently color eggs? We will do it today and stencil a cross on it.
4) The Easter Bunny is usually shown carrying a wicker basket filled with eggs, toys and candy.
Is there any wicker in the room you're in right now? Yes there is. On has blankets and the other has dog toys.
5) While marshmallow Peeps are manufactured all year around, they are most popular at Easter. Do you prefer the chicks or the bunnies? I don't eat them, but we got some for the grandkids. They have a lot of new flavors.
6) A little time in the microwave can do ugly things to a Peep. Have you ever nuked a Peep? Never even thought of it.
7) Would you prefer a hollow or a solid chocolate bunny? I would like caramel in it.
8) A traditional American Easter dinner usually includes glazed ham or roast lamb. Which would you rather have as your main course? We are having lamb. My husband will roast it on the bbq.
9) Easter is considered the season of rebirth. What makes you feel refreshed or rejuvenated?
The Word of God refreshes me spiritually. My grandkids make me feel young. A nice hot shower makes my body and hair fresh and clean.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
1 Peter 1:3
He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
Titus 3:5
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
2 Corinthians 5:17
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”
John 3:3
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
1 John 4:7
