Mon, 04/17/17, "Day of Praise"
"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have." - 1 Peter 3:15
For 20+ years, the DeGreen children have received messages from "The Easter Guy" during the 50 days of the season of Easter. There is only one reason why the Easter Guy visits, namely, to help the now adult children "give an answer to everyone who asks [them] to give the reason for the hope that [they] have" (1 Peter 3:15).
The Easter Guy reinforces that Easter is not just a day. It is a season, just like Christmas. There are the 12 days of Christmas from December 25 - January 5. And there are the 50 days of Easter from Easter Sunday to The Day of Pentecost.
The Easter Guy may leave a note and/or a treat. But what the Easter Guy always does is explicitly remind the children of two things: 1) Jesus is alive! and 2) You are Loved!
Jesus is, and You are!
So have a great day, believing that both are true!
Because they are!

Praise God!
