First there is the preparation - painting hard boiled eggs and turning them into Easter eggs. This year we had a few additional eggs to paint, not your ordinary chicken egg... They were huge!!! With the Easter eggs ready, and dusk setting in, they were turned over to the Easter bunny... and hidden....
Now when the sun is shining it is pretty easy to spot sparkling foil wrapped eggs, and bright Easter colors, BUT when dusk is setting in, it makes it a lot more challenging!
The pictures make it look darker than it really was, but we sure had a fun evening.
On reflection on our hunt for sweet surprises, it is hard not to see how life is much like an Easter egg hunt. Every day joys are only a few of them. Through the Atonement of Christ which we celebrate at Easter, we are granted a multitude of sweet surprises as we seek to become better and more like our Savior. Each stumbling block, trial or challenge we overcome enriches our lives with the lessons learned and the sweetness of the Atoning power of the Savior. That makes every day filled with sweet surprises - for there is nothing sweeter than feeling the love of the Lord!
