My older son, Edwin, is in kindergarten at a Catholic school. He came home with a styrofoam egg carton filled with 12 Easter treasures. Each "treasure " was representative of Christ's passion from Palm Sunday to His Resurrection on Easter. It's a great learning tool to teach children. I'd like to credit his teacher, Mrs. Scott, for doing such a superb job!
His eyes lit up as he began describing the series of events. I was amazed at how much he understod. It brought tears to my eyes. He had so much faith, for someone so young. All the prayers we say at home, the weekly mass, the discussions on God, all came down to this one moment for Edwin... He truly believed in God; His Son, Jesus; and His promises to us!
Our children have so many outside influences on them, some good and some bad. As parents, we are in a cultural war for their hearts and minds. It's our responsibility to plant the seeds of faith, to see it grow and flourish.
I hope that this is the begining of a life long devotion to the Lord for Edwin. May Jesus' resurrection strenghthen our own faith as parents , so that we will have a desire for holiness, to live a Christian life, and become good examples of our faith to our children.
