Easter is absolutely the hinge on which history turns. It simply cannot be overemphasized. I have often been so busy during the Easter season that I tragically underemphasize it. It’s easy to do, so we produced a special Easter episode of Paws & Tales that I encourage you to enjoy with your whole family.
In the episode “I’m a Believer,” we re-tell the Easter story for C.J., who has heard it so often it has lost its meaning for him. Join him and perhaps you too will experience this “Greatest Story Ever Told” in all of its majesty and emotion, tragedy and victory.
Here at the Paws & Tales World Headquarters (it cracks me up when I say that), we work very hard to encourage individuals and families to experience God’s love. We create hands-on projects that we hope will assist you in that. This month we have a fun recipe for resurrection rolls.
You make them with the kids, and they include a marshmallow inside a pastry. The kids put the big fluffy bit of sweetness in the dough. They know it’s in there. But when you bake it, the marshmallow melts—it disappears. When the kids bite into the roll it’s no longer there! This is a fun experience the kids will remember for the rest of their lives. Jesus was put inside the tomb, but now the tomb is empty! He is RISEN!
To engage in this fun and tasty bit of theological training (the very best kind), log onto pawsandtales.org/easter. Happy baking and Happy Easter!
