Easter.

I never was a huge fan of easter.It was just another day set aside for my mom to dress me up like a girl. I hated the dresses my mom would put on me, but as a kid i would do anything for that beautiful basket of goodness. It has been a couple years since last I received an easter basket, or was allowed to participate in easter egg hunt but i am ok with that. The past couple weeks i have been questioning Why is it that Easter is not more celebrated? I understand that Jesus' birth is very important but without easter this life would be useless. This is the first easter I think i have been genuinely excited about the story. I am excited for Easter, not for the candy, or the dinner with family but for the fact that Jesus rose from the grave. It is kind of funny in the sence that i have had that story shoved down my throat millions of times but this time i think i got it.
