Mattie May's Merry Musings - Decorating Eggs

My favorite quote while decorating Easter eggs -

We set up her little table in the middle of the kitchen, lined up cups with the egg dye, and set out the bowl of eggs waiting for their new spring outfits. This year, she got to do the coloring all by herself. She is four after all. How big a mess could she really make. After dropping one egg in each cup, she picked up one that was still in its white dress, gave it a big hug and told me she was just going to decorate it with stickers. "Lolo, I am just putting a cross on this one. That is what we remember this weekend, that Jesus died on the cross. He lives in heaven now you know."

Sweet innocent truth. Thank you Mattie May.

With 22 days before Christmas, REMEMBER:

Jesus is Better than Santa...

Santa lives at the North Pole.
JESUS is everywhere.

Santa rides in a sleigh
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.

Santa comes but once a year
JESUS is an ever-present help.

Santa fills yours stockings with goodies
JESUS supplies all your needs.

Santa comes down your chimney uninvited
JESUS stands at your door and knocks and then enters your heart.

You have to stand in line to see Santa
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.

Santa lets you sit on his lap
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.

Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, what's your name?"
JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.

JESUS has a heart full of love.
JESUS offers health, help and hope.

Santa says "You better not cry"
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you."

Santa's little helpers make toys
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.

Santa may make you chuckle but...
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.

While Santa puts gifts under your tree,
JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.

It's obvious there is really no comparison.
We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about.
We need to put Christ back in Christmas.

Jesus is still the reason for the season.

May the Lord Bless and Watch over you and your loved ones this Christmas 2008
And my He prosper and bless the work of your hands in the New Year 2009.
