Yesterday, after two wonderful worship celebrations with the HDBC family, I enjoyed watching Hutch do the Easter Egg thing. We were grateful for beautiful weather and a moderately dry front yard. We hid twenty-five eggs. He found twenty-five eggs. That is exactly the way we want it to work. It is no fun to find those eggs a few weeks later while mowing the grass. Yuck!
Next year Jackson will give Hutch some competition. Well . . . not much since he will be just under a year old. But I'm sure he will be crawling or toddling around looking for those illusive treasures. But that begs the question. What is it that makes a hard boiled egg a treasure? Not sure. But it probably has something to do with the day. Easter is all about taking ordinary things and making them special. An empty tomb . . . grave clothes left behind . . . a visit with a stranger while traveling . . . a sunrise.
The ultimate treasure is Jesus. And he wants to be found.
The kid has huge imagination and he sees treasure in the simplest things, that's a magic of life :)
